Endangered Plants

More Information About Endangered Plants

Endangered plants can be defined as those at risk of extinction throughout all or most of their range due to a sparse population, poor genetic adaptability to a changing climate or damage to or elimination of their habitat. Plant Delights Nursery knows there is no better way to conserve endangered plants than through ex-situ (off site) propagation. By making ethically propagated endangered plants more widely available, we hope to increase the genetic diversity of rare and unusual ornamental plant in gardens while reducing the collection pressure on native plant stands.

Plant Delights Nursery explores, identifies, evaluates and displays tens of thousands of plant varieties, including hundreds of rare and endangered plants so we can educate anyone with an interest in gardening and nature about the threatened beauty of these rare natural gems. All of the rare and endangered plants for sale at PDN are nursery propagated and it is for this reason we can ethically offer one of the most diverse selections of rare and endangered plants for sale anywhere.
