Welcome to our Fall Preorder Plant Sale. 

We've got a wide assortment of really cool plants from Amorphophallus kiusianus which has the most amazing fruit stalks - they have to be seen to be believed - to an assortment of new trees and deer resistant ferns. 

To make the sale even better, not only will we have our recent redbud selections Golden Falls and Flame Thrower for sale but also our newest redbud on the market. 'White Pom Poms' from the Denny Werner-JCRA breeding and introduction collboration is the first and only double flowered, white native redbud. This plant is so new that it hasn't yet hit the garden centers and likely won't until this time next year at the earliest and in very limited quantities.

We've focused on outstanding small trees and deer resistant perennials to plant in shady spots but you'll see something for every garden. Don't hesitate to add Corylus fargesii (fabulous bark) or Parrotia persica 'Vanessa' (amazing fall color) to your cart; after all, great gardens are about more than just flowers. Some plants will be limited in quantity so don't delay your orders.
