NEW PLANTS IN STOCK

Seasonal Favorites

Summer is here! Seeds are setting from the spring blossoms at the nursery, and bees are buzzing around the summer bloomers. Because this spring was relatively cool, milkweeds are just now emerging. Native Here has narrow-leaf milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis) in stock – please check our online store for current inventory. 
 
Also, in order to make way for fall favorites, the nursery is offering a half-price sale on several species that thrive in riparian or seasonally wet areas. Since wetland plants are happy being flooded in winter, they’re a good fit for poorly drained areas and rain gardens or bioswales designed to filter and slow storm runoff. 
 
The species on sale are: leather root (Hoita macrostachya) which grows sturdy 3 to 6 foot stems each spring that produce many showy purple flower spikes before dying back in the fall. And also, three species of grass-like sedges – dense sedge (Carex densa), saw-toothed sedge (Carex serratodens) and small-bracted sedge (Carex subbracteata).
