Enjoy Nature's Beauty while Preserving Nature's Resources
Natural Gardening with Waterwise Xeric Plants
We specialize in drought tolerant waterwise xeric perennials and other plants that need very little or no extra water once established. With the widespread awareness of environmentally conscious practices and water conservation, the use of drought tolerant plants and organic fertilizers has now spread nationwide from the desert gardens of the Southwest.
Xeriscaping is a method of landscape design that not only makes gardening easier in dry climates because of the plants' drought tolerance, but preserves nature's resources by using less water while still providing a lush garden of native blooming flowers and foliage.
We have spent years developing our line of unusual and exclusive garden tested plants that thrive in most zones across the country. Our hardy perennials, bulbs, cacti, succulents, ornamental grasses and shrubs ship right from our greenhouses to your doorstep ready to plant in your garden.
Our xeric plant collection allows you to create a waterwise garden with continuous blooms from Spring through Fall. The fragrant and colorful blossoms and foliage on our flowering xeric plants, such as Lavender, Penstemon and Agastache replenish nature's resources and provide food and shelter for nature's creatures - bees, hummingbirds and butterflies.
Our Chief Horticulturist, David Salman, is a recognized expert in the field of waterwise western gardening and landscaping, and is a sought-after speaker on these subjects nationwide. In 2008, David Salman was a distinguished recipient of the AMERICAN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY's 2008 Great American Gardeners Award.
