Montana Native Plants Nursery
Blackfoot Native Plants is a family operated nursery situated in Montana’s Potomac Valley bordering the Blackfoot River. We sell superior quality plants for use in perennial gardens, native meadows, and restoration settings in USDA Zones 2-5. Our nursery specializes in native plants from Western Montana.
Montana Native Plants
Blackfoot Native Plants Nursery offers over 200 species of native grasses, shrubs, and wildflowers found in the prairies and dry montane forests of the Rocky Mountain West. Our plants thrive at high altitudes with short growing seasons where summer drought, cool nights, and extreme winter temperatures are common. As landscaping with naturalized, low maintenance, water-wise plants becomes increasingly popular, native plants are the “natural” choice.
How We Raise Our Native Plants
Our plants are grown from seeds we collect or propagated from cuttings of local plants. Most of our plants spend at least one winter out-of-doors in containers and are extremely hardy.
We do not dig plants from the wild since doing so not only depletes natural stands of plants but also opens disturbed soils to weeds.
