Oklahoma Native Plants
Blackfoot Daisy
Prairie Bluet
On the cover of the catalog we have
the caption “In search of earth’s best
plants”. We are always looking for the
best performing plants for Oklahoma
and the surrounding region and often
travel to countries with similar climates.
However, it is also our mission to propagate
and make available the plants that
are native to this area. We have a passion
for Oklahoma’s native plants that is
equal to the botanical delights we find in
other parts of the world.
Each year we explore our home state,
searching for those indigenous plants
we can test for garden performance and
best methods of propagation. Another
goal of ours is to, each year, offer a few
new native species that we and other
nurseries have not produced before.
Last year we had a crop of Stenaria nigricans,
(Prairie Bluet) and some Melampodium
leucanthum, (Blackfoot Daisy),
to go with our usual extensive list of
native plants. A few first-time offerings
of Oklahoma natives we have for 2013
include; Echinocereus reichenbachii
ssp Baileyi, (Bailey’s Hedgehog Cactus),
and Amsonia tabernaemontana,
(Eastern Bluestar). Just like the Prairie
Bluet and Blackfoot Daisy, there are
sure to be a number of native species
available on site that aren’t listed in the
catalog for the 2013 season as well. All
of our native plants are nursery propagated
and grown and not collected from
the wild.
