Native Plants
Splitrock Native Plant Nursery propagates native plants for use in ecological restoration and remediation as well as for landscaping and naturescaping purposes. Stock is propagated at our nursery from native propagules. Seed is ethically collected within the ecological range of the intended planting site. We also propagate vegetatively using locally collected cuttings. We will propagate from native plant salvage operations where wild plants would otherwise be destroyed by planned construction activities. Call us as well, before you dig!
We propagate native plant species that benefit wildlife, provide traditional values, heal the land and are adapted to regional climates. We grow grassland, forest, wetland and alpine plants for use in ecological restoration, industrial remediation, landscaping and backyard gardens. Seed sales and custom orders are available.
