I have some extra plants that I’d like to give to a good home:

Staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina) is a native shrub that grows to about 8 feet.  It is the showiest of the sumacs, and is extremely colorful in the fall. Missouri Botanical Garden write-up.

American beakgrain (Diarrhena americana) is a native grass, which I got from Shaw Nature Reserve about five years ago. It grows to about two feet, stays green till winter and then turns a pale ochre color. Missouri Botanical Garden write-up.

If you’re interested, please call me at (314) 781-0841.
