Sprout Natives
Native plants grown by hand, from the seed of this place.
Sprout Natives grows the plants that already belong here — the milkweeds, asters, and grasses of the Virginia Piedmont — started from seed gathered close to home.
Not cultivars bred for the shelf, but local ecotypes: the genetics this region's insects and birds actually grew up alongside. Each plant is raised slowly, in living soil, and sold when it's ready rather than when it's convenient.
You aren't buying decoration. You're calling something back to ground that has been waiting for it.
