Baptistia is one of my favorite native perennials
According to reports on several green industry websites and blogs, it’s soon going to be much easier to find native shrubs in local garden centers and nurseries. Spring Meadow Nursery, a major propagator and wholesale supplier of flowering shrubs, is teaming up with American Beauties Native Plants to begin growing a variety of native shrubs.
Seems that Spring Meadow Nursery realizes what many professional landscape designers have known for a while – incorporating native plants into a designed landscape adds much more than beauty. According to Spring Meadow Nursery General Manager Jeremy Deppe, “the demand for native plants is on the rise as U.S. gardeners and homeowners strive to attract wildlife by providing sources for food and shelter”.
