Bailey from TN Nursery walks a creek showing native plants like milkweed, cardinal flowers, and jewelweed that attract hummingbirds and pollinators. Native species prevent wildlife extinction better than ornamental invasives, though some are harder to grow and only sold wholesale.

Hey guys, it's Bailey with TN Nursery, and I'm down here at the creek today, and I just wanted to show y'all some native plants that are growing out here in the wild. Here are black-eyed Susans, and let me see here, this is bulrush right here. That's when it, uh, blooms. That's bulrush grass. And right here, let's see here, you see these little flowers right here? That's touch-me-not jewelweed. It's a beautiful plant, and there's hummingbirds that fight over them. Oh, see that blue flower right there? That's a Great Blue Lobelia. Now, everything I've showed y'all so far, we sell, but we grow it. So here's a field of milkweed right here, but— and ours down there is water, water lily, lily pads. We sell them. Oh, look right here. You know what that is? It's an evening primrose. Now that's an herb. One of the seeds must have blew off into here. We sell that. Oh, there's my favorite flower in the whole wide world. Look, that's a blue cardinal flower. I mean, a blue cardinal flower— that's a red cardinal flower right there. And I, I wish it wasn't so weighty so y'all could see them better. And that's a blue A lobelia. That's a red lobelia. Red cardinal flower. Blue lobelia. That's a great blue lobelia. And let's see, let's go on down here. Right here, you see this little pink plant right here? Let's see, it's right here. That's Jesus weed. Now we sell it in wholesale quantities because it's harder for us to grow. We only grow it— we only sell it in wholesale quantities. Here's a bunch of it right in here. And again, black-eyed Susan. Let's see here. Oh, I'm out of breath. But let's see here. Now there is, right there, yellow flower right there, that's yellow coneflower, native yellow coneflower. Let's see here. There's pokeberry. That's one of my favorite plants there is. Not many people like them, but I love them. Look at that Jesus wade, how big it's got down there. Jewel wade, touch me not. We sell jewel wade too, but we only sell it in wholesale quantities because it's harder to get, harder to grow. But shop now at tnursery.net and fill your yard full of native herbs and native plants and save the beautiful wildlife that's about to go extinct because we're not planting native, we're planting pretty.
