If the species or quantity you need is not in stock, we will work with you to find a comparable native tree, shrub, or herbaceous plant.
Contract growing gives wholesale clients access to species and quantities we do not typically stock. We contract-grow year-round and can work to your volume, size, quantity, and budget requirements. Contract crops start at the same time, so finished stock is uniform in age and size.
American Native Plants is a wholesale nursery, and our orders typically come from conservation organizations, utilities, municipalities, and contractors. Direct Native Plants is our retail side. If you are looking for native plants for your home or personal landscape, Direct Native Plants offers an online selection of native plants along with guidance to help you choose what works for your region.
You or your agent may pick up plants by appointment. Smaller orders ship by FedEx, UPS, or common carrier, and orders over 70 lbs are often palletized and shipped with our preferred carriers. Larger orders can ship directly to your facility or jobsite. Where possible, we combine loads along standard routes to keep freight cost-effective. Full details are on the Shipping page.
Yes. Pickup is by appointment and normally requires at least 24 hours’ notice. Our pick-up hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am-2:30pm

We guarantee that your plants are true to name and in good condition at the time of pickup or delivery. We will replace or issue credit for any plants that are misrepresented or diseased. All orders are subject to crop failures, damage by natural causes, and conditions beyond our control, and our liability is limited to refund or replacement. Acceptance of material at pickup or delivery confirms the stock is healthy; we offer no further guarantee of survivability after that point.

We grow natives for the Eastern U.S. and Midwest, and our plants are best suited to those climates. Species that thrive in these regions may not perform as well in hotter, arid western environments. If your project sits outside our core range, we can talk through fit before you order.
Plants are sold in a range of formats and container sizes. The full size guide, with dimensions for each format, is on the shop page, and availability by size is in the live catalog.
