Native perennials
We’ve released a spring 2025 native perennial grow list
Our native perennials are finished from rooted plugs, bareroot plants, or grown in-house from seed. We partner with regional nurseries to provide high quality young plants and seed for our production.
Some varieties are available in small quantities and will sell out quickly. Availability and varieties subject to change based on crop success.
A book to consider:
The Know Maintenance* Perennial Garden by Roy Diblik
Plant feature of the month: Rattlesnake master
Eryngium yuccifolium, or Rattlesnake Master, grows up to 4 feet tall with distinctive white, bristly flowers. Its tough foliage makes it largely unappealing to deer and rabbits. Though part of the carrot family (Apiaceae), it stands out with its unique form.
Thriving in medium-wet to medium-dry soils with full sun, it attracts small native pollinators and serves as a host plant for the Black Swallowtail. Its Latin name reflects its resemblance to Yucca, and it’s also known as Button Snakeroot, Yucca-leaf Eryngo, and Rattlesnake Weed.
