Hello to all my native plant peeps! Man, it is hot out there. I worked in Bella’s garden shop area for a couple of hours today. Had a big ol’ to do list of things I wanted to get done. Well, that list has only a few things crossed off cause I got just to dang hot to stay out there. Oh well, I’ll get it done another day. Y’all stay as cool as you can, and remember to hydrate.
Alrighty then. I have orders scheduled with my favorite native supplier for the next five weeks. Which means lots of natives are getting restocked, and a few new natives are getting added to the Garden Shop. The inventory is already updated for the natives I’m picking up this Friday the 14th. I’ll update inventory for the others as it gets closer to their pick up day. Be sure to get on the waitlist for those you’re interested in.
And here’s what I’m getting. Click on the highlighted plant name to be taken to its Garden Shop page to learn more about the plant and to place your order.

The bloom in the pic at the top of the post is the beautiful Chrysopsis gossypina subsp. hyssopifolia, Cottony Goldenaster. I might not be enjoying the heat of the summer, but the Cottony Goldenaster plants I have in stock sure are. They are loaded with buds just waiting to pop open.
Happy diggin’ in the dirt!
