Green Isle Gardens specializes in growing native uplands plants and plants that attract and are useful to wildlife. We have retail hours by appointment. Just give us a call for a tour of the nursery.
Coral honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) blooms early in the spring. Hummingbirds returning from migration refuel on the nectar from the red, tubular-shaped flowers. This plant is drought-tolerant, evergreen, and easy to grow!
We have room to grow more seedlings in the new greenhouse.
Gopher apple is a great groundcover and offers wildlife both flowers and fruit in August. This year we collected over 50,000 gopher apple seeds for a bumper crop next year.
We now have retail hours by appointment. Please call for a nursery tour.
Difficult to propagate, Tarflower (Bejaria racemosa) is an unusual plant for the landscape. It tolerates drought, cold, and has lovely white blossoms in the spring. It's called Tarflower because the flowers are sticky to the touch.
The tall bloom spikes of Blazing star (Liatris chapmanii) will turn bright purple in the fall and attract pollinators and butterflies of all sorts. Planted in mass, it's a gorgeous site.
