More Information About North Carolina Native Plants
Native Perennials of the Old North State. At Plant Delights Nursery, we nursery propagate and sell perennials from all over the world, but some of the best plants are North Carolina native plants from our own state. While many people tout native plants as being better adapted to the state from which they grow naturally, this is simply not always true. Some North Carolina native plants might be far better adapted to a country like Australia than here in NC. Consequently, don't choose plants just because they are native, choose them because they are great garden plants that also happen to be native. Although we are not strictly a native plant nursery, we have a passion for native plants, especially rare and hard to find native plants. From native trilliums to cypripedium ladyslipper orchids, we are your source for rare and unusual native plants online. We hope you'll find some interesting North Carolina native plants online that will thrive in your home garden, wherever in the world that might be.
