Missouri natives
We grow a prairie here on purpose. Natives are the toughest plants we sell — once they're in, they handle our summers, our clay, and our dry Augusts.

- Butterfly weed and milkweeds
- Native coneflower and black-eyed Susan
- Native trees and shrubs
Available spring through fall; walk the prairie to see them grown.
Annuals & containers
Color for the season, in flats or planted up. Bring your own pots or buy them here — we'll plant them and you pick them up ready to set out.
- Spring annuals and hanging baskets
- Fall mums, kale, pansies
- Custom porch pots and window boxes
- Houseplants and succulents
Spring color from April; fall containers from late August.
