TREES & SHRUBS
Trees provide attractive backdrops, framing, screening, and, of course shade, which helps reduce energy costs and create a relaxing retreat. They also help reduce bitter winter winds, something every Minnesotan wants! We have a large variety of potted trees available in a variety of container sizes.
Ornamental trees are compact and can be used as a focal point or screen. Their small stature allows them to be placed in many areas enabling you to enjoy their spectacular colors, fragrances and even fruit.
Shrubs provide function in the landscape through privacy screening, foundation plantings, wildlife habitat, beauty and fragrance.
With so many varieties, the best place to start is by determining the size you desire the plant to grow to. With a narrower focus, then choose by your color or shape preferences and then factor in light exposure.
Don't let yourself feel overwhelmed by these choices, just call us and we are happy to offer our professional opinion.
Evergreens
A landscape would not be complete without the inclusion of evergreens-especially in Minnesota with our long winters! They are ideal companions with other trees and shrubs in your landscape.
Evergreens offer unique colors, textures, and shapes throughout the growing season and make a statement in the winter as they are viewed against the snow.
Whether it is hiding a view, blocking sound or simply adding year-round color to your environment, let us help you solve your landscape problems with the proper evergreen selection.
ANNUALS & PERENNIALS
We have over 6000 sq. ft. of greenhouse space full of annuals, perennials and vegetables. We get new shipments of plants each week during much of the year. Use the Plant Finder to pick out options (you can print a wishlist) and then stop in and see our current selection of plants!
Annuals
Annuals are often referred to as bedding plants. These plants provide a big impact of color during the growing season but wither away as the temperatures get colder. Having to replant these in the spring offers you an opportunity to try something new!
MN Native Plants
Transform your yard into a colorful haven for bees, butterflies, and birds. Our Minnesota native perennial plants are hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and ready to thrive in your garden. Find workshops and grants.
Perennials
Perennials only need to be planted once! They die back to the ground and sprout new growth in the spring.
Perennials come in all shape, sizes and colors. The shortest ones are referred to as ground-covers as they hug the ground and creep around the surface. Selection is based on light requirements and mature size for the area they are to be planted in.
Houseplants
Give your room a fresh look with gorgeous indoor greens. All are well-rooted with vibrant leaves. We have many different varieties year-round - the search below is just a sample, come see the latest in the greenhouse!
