Houseplant list coming soon

We're typing up the indoor lineup — including which ones are safe around your cats and dogs. In the meantime, our pet-friendly houseplant guide covers the safe picks, or stop in and browse the benches in person.

No varieties match — try fewer letters or a different filter. We may still have it on a bench; give us a call.

Grown in limited quantities and subject to seasonal availability — when a variety sells out, it's gone until next year. Varieties change season to season, so check back each spring. Sun, shade, and pollinator tags are general guidance at the plant-type level. The MN Native badge marks Minnesota-native species and garden cultivars of native species (nativars).
