NATIVE DISCLAIMER

The use of native plants has become quite popular over the last few years and Twixwood is excited to be a part of this movement. These species are all native to various parts of the Midwest, but they may not be native to your specific area. Like any plant, they each require different growing conditions including various levels of sun & shade, water availability, soil type and hardiness zones. Since we do not have room in our current catalog to list all of this information, please research your plant selection carefully or contact us for more information.

Native plants by their nature are wild. This means they do not always take well to being contained in plastic pots and trays. They have their prime seasons and may have dormancy periods that do not match with typical perennial plantings. They may reseed themselves or spread by rhizomes and other means that might work well in a wide open prairie, but not so well in a specimen perennial planting.

The wild nature of natives also means that production schedules have to be built around their habits. Many of the perennials we sell have been selected or bred for the typical Midwest growing season focused on heavy spring sales. Natives don’t abide by those constraints so availability fluctuates greatly and even custom production isn’t always an option. We will do our best to grow or find the native varieties and sizes you need, but please call well in advance of any anticipated native orders so that we can explore all options.
