Endangered Plants

Ethically Propagated Rare and Endangered Plants

Featured Plant: Dionaea muscipula 'Akai Ryu'

Endangered plants are defined as those at risk of extinction throughout most of their range due to a sparse population, poor genetic adaptability to a changing climate, or damage to or elimination of their habitat. This is why we support the conservation of rare plants through ex-situ (off site) propagation. Through ethical propagation of endangered and rare plants, we seek to make more of these exotic perennials more available to the public, increase genetic diversity, and reduce collection pressure on native plant stands.

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.
