Native Plant List

thomas-smith-doI0mceCxfk-unsplash.jpg

Local-genotype native plants are available from Hummingbird Hill and Little Bluestem, and occasionally at a few other local nurseries.

 

Please mention that you are purchasing seedlings for a gravesite at PNB and the staff will help you choose the perfect plants.

Be aware that we have many Black Walnut trees at Panorama, and not all plants are able to thrive next to that species. If your loved one’s grave is near a Black Walnut tree, please let the nursery know that you are looking for walnut-tolerant species only.
