Where is the best place to plant Prairie Smoke?
Prairie smoke grows best in dry, well drained soils in full sunlight; it tolerates light shade on hot summer days. It can be locally found at one of the SLELO PRISM Priority Conservation Areas at the Chaumont Barrens Preserve, an alvar habitat, located in Chaumont NY. What are good pairings for Prairie Smoke? Prairie Smoke is best paired with other native perennials that like the same dry conditions but flower at different times. This ensures your garden always has something in bloom and the pollinators always have something to eat.
