While we focus on selling plants native to Minnesota many species from the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midsouth regions can thrive and contribute to ecosystem services. Many species including the Eastern Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) have even been adopted as native in Minnesota, on the flipside species like Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) are considered "invasive" by some officials. Take caution when planting plants that are native to outer regions, observe their spreading and reproduction habits in the natural areas around your property.
