Nursery for shade

13 years ago

Does anyone know the name of a mail-order nursery that specializes in shade-loving plants that also carries natives, and not just the usual astilbe and hostas?

My recommendation for natives would be Prairie Moon Nursery. Search for "woodland" and your soil moisture and other preferences. I've only ordered full sun plants but they do have quite a few plants for shade or partial shade--their categories are prairie, savannah, and woodland. Both seeds and plants are available. I've been very happy with their plants.

Here is a link that might be useful: Prairie Moon Nursery
