Good Genetics: Our plants are as close to wild as possible without being dug from the wild. They are propagated from seeds, and on rare occasions from cuttings, gathered from native wild populations in Missouri. They are well adapted to the climatic conditions of much of the central United States.

Good potting Soil: Our plants are grown in potting soil that doesn't contain peat moss. Plants grown in mixes containing peat moss try to stay in the peat when planted in naturalized plantings and some flower beds. We feel our plants grow and survive better in their new homes because of the potting soil we use.

Good Adaptation for Native Fauna: Where wildlife is involved our plants are better adapted for their needs, because native animals have done the genetic selection of the plants they depend on.
