Plants available in the nursery

Updated August 5th, 2026

Here’s a mostly complete list of what’s currently available in the nursery at Willows End. All nursery sales are in person. There are new plants coming to the nursery sales area as quickly as I can propagate and pot things up, but this is what’s ready right now!

Availability is limited on everything, and I can offer no guarantee that what is listed here will still be here when you visit. If you want to check on specific availability of anything, please contact me.

Someday I will have live inventory, pretty pictures, and descriptions of everything on the website, but until then a list will have to suffice. Plants below are organized into categories, listed alphabetically by botanical name, with common name after. Details like what size the plants are will have to wait for a more automated system, however please know that I don’t list anything for sale that I don’t consider ready to be planted.

Plants lacking cultivar identification

I have a number of plants in the garden that I have been gifted or traded for over time that do not have a known cultivar name (and a few plants I bought were misidentified by the original nursery). These are all still great plants, but if you are the type of gardener who wants a name for everything, you might decide to pass on these.
