What Grows Here?
What Grows
Here?
Jenae Ryan, Horticulture
Recently, I received a client call, and the question was,
“Can you tell me what grows here?”
What the client needed was a list of recommended plants
that grow well in north central Kansas. K-State Research and Extension has
several publications that can help homeowners and gardeners make decisions when
selecting plants. Whether you are looking to try a new vegetable variety, or
need to replace a tree that was removed, or looking for hardy flowers for your
flower bed, there is a list for you!
