Natives and Nursery

Welcome to our native and nursery plants section!

Click Syringa picture below where you can find all of your natives, grasses, shade trees, and other specialty non- native stock.

Philadelphus lewisii (above), also known as Lewis’s mockorange,
is probably better known in Idaho as Syringa, where it
is the state flower.

Why buy native plants/ benefit of native plants:

Already adapted to the local area so survivability is increased.
Adapted to the soil. Adapted to the heat and cold of an area (hardiness zone)(click here for hardiness zone map of Idaho).
Lower maintenance costs because natives are adapted to the landscape and require fewer resources, such as water.
They create wildlife sanctuaries, especially for the native wildlife associated with those plants.
Natives will reduce weed invasion as they out- compete invasive species.

(go to our web links page for more resources on native plants, hardiness zones in the US, and much more!)

Most species in our stock are native to Idaho and can be found throughout the western and rocky mountain states.

Check out our <hardiness zone map of Idaho> to see what zone your in (pdf). Out of state? Go to the National Arboretum website at: http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/ushzmap.html to find out your zone (by county too!)
