Our latest newsletter is packed with hot info. Latest plants in stock; June discounts; upcoming plant shows & garden tours; an update on the greenhouse manager search; AND news about the business transition we've been navigating for quite awhile -- which some of you may know about, although we've been keeping all of it relatively quiet. Cross your fingers everyone!

A big thanks to our team for making all of this happen 💚

Another favorite - Mistflower - is now at the Plants for Wildlife booth! It offers a sea of purple blooms summer into fall. Always nice to find a low-growing native flower.

Calico Beardtongue - a Penstemon that can take shade - is also now available💞

Find them at Fifth Season Gardening - Asheville

A reminder that we carry groundcovers that complement native perennials. This sweet alyssum (both white and Painted Carpet varieties) fill out the bed quickly so the perennials can take their time growing out. They are sometimes annuals but often self-seed. Since they attract ample beneficial insects, helping to keep a balanced ecosystem in the garden, people often plant them around their veggies.

Go to nativeplantsasheville.com and choose the Herb/Groundcover section💚

First photo - Last Wednesday after restocking the booth at Fifth Season. Second photo today (Monday). Go Mother’s Day weekend🌱👏 We’re preparing for an earlier than usual restock, so be sure to return if you missed out💚

A few years ago, we added Downy Wood Mint (Blephilia ciliata) to our catalog, and we almost quit growing it because we didn’t have luck with it returning reliably in some places we planted it, but the locations were all medium moisture. Then we transplanted some pots we suspected were goners in dry soil at the top of the hill, and if you scroll here to photos 2&3, you can see what happened. What a lovely explosion of color in late spring! Many of them have returned for a third year. We also sprinkled some lime in the holes because botanists had told us they appear in areas heavy with limestone.

So we decided to grow it again this year, now that we know it’s more reliable in dry soils. You can pick up yours at today, or order for pickup at nativeplantsasheville.com 💚

Our helpers return with such lovely photos from our Plants for Wildlife kiosks, but our days are so packed this time of year, we haven’t been able to find time to share them. So you need to go visit them in person! While we were restocking at Fifth Season yesterday, we could hardly find a quiet moment to do inventory because the plants were flying into customers’ hands before they got on the shelf!
