Great Lakes Native Plants
Whether you are planting a bioswale, retention or detention basin, rain garden, or doing a stream or lakeshore restoration, Great Lakes Native Plants has a wide offering of Great Lakes eco-region native wetland and upland plants for your application.
Why native plants? Native plants are an increasingly important component in stormwater remediation projects. Increasingly, specifications are requiring the use of native plants along with the hard infrastructure when managing stormwater. In addition, native plants offer numerous benefits over non-native horticultural varieties:
-
Native plants have deeper root systems that provide pathways for water to infiltrate the soil and recharge the groundwater. This reduces the pollutant load entering waterways.
Native plants require much less maintenance than non-native species due to their adaptation to local climate and soil conditions. They require no extra water, fertilizer, or pesticides after establishment.
Native plants provide the best habitat for native insects, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other wildlife.
Native plants provide strikingly beautiful and stunning displays of color throughout the growing season.
Although we have a wide range of species available throughout the season, it changes, and we may or may not have exactly what you are looking for on short notice. Therefore, if you have a must-list of species, we recommend you plan ahead so we can grow exactly what you want to your specifications, delivered when you want it. All of our plants are 100% guaranteed to arrive in plantable condition ready to thrive.
At Great Lakes Native Plants, we strive to provide the highest level of customer service. 
We will work with you to select the appropriate native species for your application.
We will communicate with you throughout your project, notifying you about the status of your order.
And, if something should go wrong, we will be there to help make it right.
