Plants of the Southwest - Albuquerque NM

A great selection of native plants and edible plants including amazing selection of trees. They use local growers and suppliers when possible and grow many plants from seed in house. Their selection is amazing. The people are kind and the plants do really well.

Absolutely love this nursery! They carry a wide variety of native plant species both potted and in seed form which is perfect for anyone wanting to restore local habitat or create a more sustainable garden.

I also really appreciate their selection of cool books on everything from farming and gardening to animals and birds it’s like a little hidden gem for nature lovers.

Here are all the Zones you need to be aware : 7 USDA Plant Hardiness Map For New Mexico | Gardening Know How New Mexico falls within USDA plant hardiness zones 4 through 9, with the majority of the state experiencing a semi-arid climate characterized by hot summers and cold winters. Zones vary by elevation and region, generally ranging from Zone 4/5 in the northern mountains to Zone 8/9 in the southern desert basins. Northern NM (Mountains/High Elevation): Zones 4a–5b, with colder winter temperatures, sometimes reaching -25°F. Central NM (Albuquerque/Santa Fe): Primarily Zones 6a–7b. Southern NM (Las Cruces/Borderlands): Zones 7b–9a, featuring milder winters and long, hot growing seasons. Key Factors: High elevation, intense sun, low humidity, and significant day-to-night temperature changes (often 30°+ difference) are typical.

I bought seeds here that worked great and even gathered seed from the plants and was able to use those. I got some parsley from them recently because the Black Swallowtail caterpillars were eating my 2 plants bare. Now I have TONS of caterpillars. I plant the parsley for the butterflies so I'm very happy! Some of the parsleys were whitening when no got them but I put them in bigger pots and they are doing great! Also, there staff has always been helpful to me!
