At Native and Uncommon Plants we offer varieties of plants which help gardeners restore local habitats by using eco-friendly species. In addition to plants we also offer advice to get the right plant in the right place.

The environmental reasons for gardening with native plants are positive and compelling. Native plant gardens:

• Increase and promote biodiversity
• Provide habitat for a wide variety of creatures such as birds and butterflies
• Provide a home for many native plants that are becoming increasingly rare in the wild
• Conserve water
• Eliminate the need for chemical inputs such as pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers

New Products Available!
New England Fall Foliage - available in Jacksonville! From ground covers to trees, gorgeous colors can be found in your very own garden.

Ground Covers continue in their popularity to replace the water-dependent, pesticide-dependent, money-wasting St. Augustine grass. An acre of lawn can use 12,000 gallons per week. An acre of native landscaping can save more than 1/2 million gallons of water per year. Historic Five Points in Jacksonville has yellow flowering perennial peanut ($6 per 1 gal) in bloom this summer, a drought tolerant ground cover that tolerates foot traffic, mowing and full sun!

The nursery has a display garden featuring ground covers to replace grass for shade or sun, dry or moist conditions. There are display gardens with native shrubs, trees, perennials, ferns, and vines. Garden tours welcome!  Visit our products page for helpful and safe gardening products sold at Native & Uncommon Plants and other outlets.
