What's growing in the fields?
Sweet grass
Sweet Grass! We grow this Charleston favorite from locally harvested seed here at the nursery. This hardy, perennial grass remains an attractive shade of green throughout spring and summer, then offers showy, cotton-candy-pink plumes in fall. This fall display of color catches the eye of Lowcountry natives as well as newcomers to the area, making it one of our most popular plants. 1 and 3-gallon pots of Sweet Grass (Pink Muhly Grass) are available for purchase right now at our Garden Center.
GRACEFUL BAMBOO
Are you seeking a taste of the tropics with the added benefit of privacy? Bamboo will do the trick! Bamboo grows fast to form a dense screen with feathery foliage that dances in the breeze. And don't worry about an invasive root system - our Graceful Bamboo is clumping, making it easy to manage! Mature size: Varies depending on variety. Prefers Part to Full Sun.
Chaste Tree (Vitex)
Chaste Tree (Vitex) is a flowering favorite that adds a bold splash of color to the landscape late Spring into Summer. Useful as a large shrub or small, ornamental tree, the sun-loving Chaste Tree grows quickly to 10-15' tall and wide and is easily maintainable with pruning. The 15-gallon Chaste Trees in our growing fields are covered in blooms. Come for a visit - Our Nursery Professionals would love to give you a tour!
JACK FROST LIGUSTRUM
Jack Frost Ligustrum is growing (and blooming!) right now at the nursery. This variegated variety is a reliable performer in the landscape, offering foliage interest year round and plentiful spring blooms. Prefers part to full sun.

Small in stature, but big in versatility, the Shamrock Inkberry Holly we grow here at the Nursery is suitable for just about any spot in the landscape. This compact native evergreen shrub makes a great replacement for boxwood shrubs here along the coast as it is tolerant of wet feet. It is also disease and pest resistant, tolerant of salt, and deer non-preferred. Matures to 3-4' tall and wide, easily shaped with pruning. Adaptable to sun or shade.
Variegated Hydrangea
The variegated hydrangeas we grow here at the Nursery have such striking foliage that it's easy to appreciate them even when they aren't blooming. Dainty lacecap blooms arise in Summer as the perfect complement to this shrub's beautiful leaves!
Elephant Ear Mojito (Colocasia)
Colocasia Mojito is one of the showiest Elephant Ear varieties we grow at the Nursery - each leaf is unique! Mojito performs well in the landscape or in containers and prefers part shade to shade. Plant now to enjoy its colorful patterns year after year!
Dwarf Yaupon Holly
This sturdy evergreen native is a tidy, mounded shrub that can be used as a low maintenance foundation planting, low hedge, or border. Once established, its tolerance of adverse conditions such as drought or occasional flooding proves to be an asset in Lowcountry landscapes. Dwarf Yaupon Holly shrubs can be purchased at our Nursery in shades of solid green or green with burgundy new growth.
Variegated Tractor Seat Plants
Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you! We are currently growing Variegated Tractor Seat Plants (Farfugium)!
