Fall
Prairie flowers are still blooming and grasses can reach 6' feet tall. Look for:
Big Bluestem Partridge Pea Cup Plant Prairie Dock Gentian Prairie Dropseed Goldenrod Rosin Weed Grey-headed Coneflower Sunflower Indian Grass Switch Grass Little Bluestem Tall Coreopsis New England Aster Western Ironweed
Winter
Although the blooms are gone, the winter prairie is still beautiful. The tall grasses and dried plants give shape and structure to the winter landscape. Notice how prairie plants provide warmth and shelter for many animal species. Look for their tracks in the prairie snow.
