We play in the dirt!

We are the place to "Buy Local"!

We* grow almost everything that we sell; we* grow it right here at Hilltop Farm, south of Ash Grove, MO. It isn't grown elsewhere and kicked off the back of a truck (except for a very few things). The fun is in the growing, so that is what we do. We usually start with seed or very small un-rooted slips of plants, but we also pot up and grow on bare-root perennials, tissue-cultured plants, and tiny plugs.

We also trial many of these plants in our own gardens and containers to see how they will react to our crazy Ozarks weather.

By growing the plants we sell and trialing them in our own environment, we "know" our plants. This allows us to offer plants that we know will grow well for you as well as offer the best gardening advice concerning the plants we sell.

We offer an astonishingly broad selection of plant material from bedding plants, to perennials, to hanging baskets, to tropicals, to exotics. We attempt to offer both the newest exciting varieties of plants, as well as time-tested classics. Our staff is well equipped to help our customers with their choices.

* The truth is no person can actually grow a plant. We can sow a seed, stick a cutting, give a plant all it needs, but only God makes it actually grow. "Amy planted, Oscar watered, but God gave the growth."

But God grew our plants locally.

Our high performance annual selection is huge. These plants are mostly started from cuttings and consist of such favorites as lantana, pentas, heliotrope, and Wave petunias, to name a few. Many of these have superior traits, such as butterfly or hummingbird attractiveness, or the ability to thrive in extreme heat.
 

Our perennials are all grown here on the farm, and consist of many varieties for sun, part sun, or shade conditions.
 

Herbs! There's nothing like fresh herbs in those recipes! We can meet your needs. But don't forget the ornamental herbs; we have them, too. Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (and basil and tarragon and...) We grow them here so you can grow them there.
 

As many people have started to garden with edibles, we have added quite a lot of different fruits to our offering. Follow the link to our fruit fruit page to see the run-down.
 

Our hanging baskets are all grown here in our own greenhouses. Almost all of our hanging baskets are 10" baskets for your success in having color all summer long. Our selection and quality are unmatched in the area. We are famous for our beautiful Boston Ferns and Bougainvilleas, but we offer sooo much more!
 

Our tropical plants are grown here to ensure well-rooted, full pots. We have large and small pots of many things, such as hibiscus and coleus. We also offer many other unusual plants such as purple-and-silver-leafed Persian Shield and Rex begonias. For those who are a little "neglectful" in the watering area (like Amy!), we have tender succulents that can easily be grown as houseplants as well as patio plants for the summer.
