Download this spreadsheet to see the complete list. 127 native plants grown from seed! Grasses, perennial flowers, annuals, and shrubs. As plants reach a saleable size, they will be added to the "Our Plants" tab. Plants that are listed as 2 years old will be ready first. Plants that are 1 year old will be ready from late June onwards.
