Verbena
Many species of native wetland plants were introduced to our site using live plugs. Other native wetland species and mesic prairie species were introduced through seeding. Still other native species have appeared through naturally occurring seed banks. The site now contains 100 or more species of native rushes, sedges, grasses, willows, wildflowers and other native plants that might have been present on the land more than 100 years ago, when it was converted to agricultural uses.
