Native Plants: The Beautiful Foundation of a Healthy Ecosystem
Heartwood Nursery is one of the largest native wholesale and retail nurseries in the Mid-Atlantic region. While much of the horticulture industry has focused on exotic ornamentals, we’ve specialized in native trees, shrubs, and perennials for 38 years. Fully 90 percent of our stock is native.
We offer over 300 native species, most of which we start here in our greenhouses from local seeds and cuttings, and grow by hand without pesticides. We also carry a select few non-invasive, non-native species.
Come to Heartwood for a huge selection of common and lesser-known native species:
-
Trees, including American Holly, Serviceberry, Pawpaw, and many others
-
Shrubs, from Azalea to Winterberry
-
Perennials, from Anise Hyssop to Wood Violet
-
Berry plants
-
Groundcovers
-
Ferns and grasses
See our plant list, and visit us in beautiful rural York County. We'll help bring your vision of ecofriendly natural beauty to life.
