Native-plant buying methods
Mail-Order Native Plant Nurseries
Looking for native plants you can order remotely? Explore nurseries that explicitly publish mail-order purchasing options, along with their available plant formats and regional specializations.
A nursery is included in this directory only when its own published information supports the listed buying method. Having a website or online catalog alone does not establish mail-order availability.

What to Check Before Ordering Plants by Mail
Mail-order native plants can make nursery offerings accessible beyond the immediate area around a physical retail location. However, ordering arrangements differ between nurseries.
A published mail-order policy does not necessarily mean every plant can be shipped at every time of year or to every destination.
Review the nursery's current shipping information before selecting plants or completing an order.
Questions to ask before purchasing
- Which states or destinations does the nursery ship to?
- Are orders accepted throughout the year or seasonally?
- Are there minimum order requirements?
- Which plant formats are available for shipping?
- How are plants packaged for transport?
- Are there restrictions on particular plant species?
- What happens if shipping conditions delay delivery?

What Can You Order?
Mail-order availability and plant format are separate characteristics. A nursery is shown under a format only when its published information identifies that format.
Choosing regional plants
Ask About Provenance and Specialization
A nursery may publish a specialization in a particular ecoregion, habitat, or geographic area. That information can help narrow your search when looking for regionally focused plant sources.
Geographic specialization does not automatically establish the origin of every plant in a catalog. Ask about propagation material and provenance when those details matter to your project.
Explore regional information
NativePlantIndex records regional and habitat descriptions using the nursery's own published wording rather than independently assigning growing ranges.
