native roots *

Native root plants are cultivars that have been specifically bred from native parents to develop a more desirable plant, whether that be larger blooms, disease resistance, or another improvement. Importantly, the term 'native roots' signifies roots that are perfectly adapted to their native environment's conditions, such as clay, sand, moisture levels, or soil density. This ensures native root plants possess the robust natural resilience of their ancestors.
