Backyard Nursery in Columbia, Illinois

Landscape Plants for sale $4.97 each!

Hundreds to choose from, all in one gallon pots.

Choose from Dwarf Burning Bush, Purpleleaf Sand Cherry, Burkwood Viburnum (very fragrant), Pink Weigela, Golden Vicary Privet (great for a bright sunny hedge), Variegated Weigela, Goldflame Spirea, Neon Flash Spirea, Little Princess Spirea, Lemon Princess Spirea, McKay’s White Potentilla, Old Fashion Lilac, Lynnwood Gold Forsythia, Double Red Rose of Sharon, Red Heart Rose of Sharon, Emerald Gaiety Euonymus, French (Pink) Pussy Willow, Dappled Willow, Red Prince Wiegela, Pink Crape Mrytle, Acoma (white) Crape Myrtle, Royal Purple Smoketree, Emerald Green Arborvitae, Blue Boy Holley, Blue Star Juniper, Sea Green Juniper, Green Barberry, Bridal Wreath Spirea, Caradonna Perennial Meadow Sage, Scarlet Honeysuckle, German Bearded Iris (mixed), Peonies (mixed), Orange Daylily, American Dream Coreopis, Black King Carnation, Grenadin Carnation (mixed),  Sedum (mixed), Alaska Shasta Daisy

All of the above listed plants are propagated and grown here in my yard. They’re not grown in a greenhouse nor do I use any winter plastic cover for protection on them. They get whatever Mom Nature has to dish out to ensure you get a tough plant to survive in our sometimes very cold and sometimes nasty climate around the St. Louis area.

My nursery is open from April 15th through October 15th, by appointment only.  I am located between Dupo and Columbia, IL. about 7 minutes from the JB Bridge and about 25 minutes from the arch and Poplar Street Bridge in St. Louis , Mo.,   I am retired, so I am here almost all of the time working in the nursery.

Thanks for looking at this add. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have. It’s best to Google my address for directions, I don’t want to get you lost.

    Hi,
    Can you ship to me if I buy from you and do you have a minimum amount for an order? I’m just getting started and don’t have a lot of extra funding to play with.
