Florida Native Plants

Naturewise takes pride in growing and selling a nice diversity of quality native landscape plants. We use local sources whenever possible to ensure plants are well suited to our specific environmental conditions.

We are strictly a retail nursery and we specialize in wildflowers, grasses, vines, and shrubs. We currently have close to 100 different species!

Why Plant Natives?

Florida native plants are adapted to our soils and climate, and therefore can grow and thrive once established without extra watering, fertilizer, or pesticides. This saves you money and keeps nasty chemicals out of our environment. Native plants also provide food and shelter to birds, butterflies, and wildlife. This helps to create a healthy balance in our ecosystem. You just may be surprised to find out how easy and attractive some of our great native plants can be!

You can learn more about native plants through the Florida Native Plant Society. Visit their website for lots of great plant information and find a local chapter in your area. www.fnps.org
