WHY BUY LOCAL?

 

  • Locals only! Plants that is. You won't find annuals, named/royalty earning perennials, or even hostas!

  • Almost all of the plants sold at Kinnickinnic Natives are grown from seed collected from our site

  • Kinnickinnic Natives is only 30 minutes from Saint Paul. For those customers from across the river, we are closer than you think.

  • The majority of Kinnickinnic Native's plants are grown in 3" pots. The plants are more affordable (especially for larger installations) and easier to transplant. Many will even bloom the first year.

  • Knowledgeable owners on staff.
