Native Plants

For the Rogue Valley

Plants, shrubs and trees that really thrive in our unique region

This list includes plants native to the Western United States as well as specifically to our unique region. It focuses more on what we carry/have carried (or could order) rather than being entirely comprehensive, and we are always on the lookout for new options!

Be sure to check out our Mostly Native Waterwise Collection, a pre-planned selection with planting guide designed by our landscape designers for all season interest.

Plant Key:
DR = Deer Resistant
PF = Pollinator Friendly
DT = Drought Tolerant
CT = Clay Tolerant
W = Tolerates Wet Soil
