Heartwood Native Plants: Natural Beauties
We specialize in common and less known native plants. Our plants are straight species. Their appearance hasn't been genetically manipulated, the way cultivars are. At Heartwood, a plant label with a name in quotes means the plant is a selection from a naturally occurring population. The name typically reflects a characteristic, such as growth habit or color, or other noteworthy information about that selection.
We propagate and grow 90% of our native trees and shrubs from seeds and cuttings from our own stock, growing by hand and never with pesticides.
With diverse options for sun, shade, dry, and moist conditions, our native plants fill a range of landscaping needs, and work beautifully in formal or informal designs. Sizes range from 3- to 5-gallon nursery trade containers. (Not all species are available in all sizes.)
We're Here to Help
We’ve helped many customers choose native plants, providing growing information and suggesting designs. Whether you're starting from scratch or incorporating natives into existing plantings, our friendly, expert staff can help. Tip: Bring photos and measurements of your space.
