Why Buy Native
What We Grow
Where to Find Us
Better Gardens Start at Native Nurseries
Better Adapted to Colorado
Native plants have adapted to Colorado’s elevation and climate over countless generations, giving them an edge on out-of-staters. We supplement our inventory of natives with Plant Select and other varieties that also thrive in the high plains and mountains.
A Fresh Start for Healthier Gardens
Native plants travel straight from our local nursery partners to our pop-up markets before hitching a ride in your car to their new home. When you plant our natives you plant them fresh, which allows them to grow faster, live longer, and create better gardens.
More of the Varieties You Love
Native plants also cater to the preferences of Colorado gardeners. Our local nursery partners invest in high-quality varieties of the natives you know and love while also exploring and expanding into innovative and rarely-seen varieties you will come to love.
Supports Your Local Economy
Locally-grown flowers employ horticulturists and gardening experts from your own backyard. As beloved local nurseries close their doors due to increased competition from national chain stores, we are proud to step in and continue to serve their communities.
What We Grow
Below is a full list of the native, nativar and native adjacent grasses and perennials we plan to stock at some point this season. Our day-to-day inventory changes based on availability and on the seasons, yet no matter when you drop by, you’ll find natives to love that can be taken home and planted that day.
- Natives predate European settlement and are adapted to Colorado’s climate, soil, and hydrology.
- Nativars are cultivars of native species, selected and bred for traits like improved drought tolerance or brighter flowers.
- Native-adjacent varieties aren’t strictly native to the Eastern Plains or Front Range, but they are native to similar nearby ecosystems, i.e. other semi-arid, high-altitude prairie environments in neighboring states.
In all cases, the varieties listed below will thrive in a Colorado garden while benefiting the local ecosystem.
It’s a lot to choose from, so feel free to ask our team of gardening experts for advice or recommendations. We want you to love your garden!
“I love their knowledgeable and friendly staff; and they carry so many natives that thrive in our climate and are sourced locally. I always discover a new gem I didn’t know I wanted!”
