Pollinator-Friendly & Native Plants in East Tennessee

Our perennial department evolves with the seasons, offering a dynamic selection of hardy, long-lasting plants for gardens across Knoxville, Oak Ridge, and surrounding East Tennessee areas. From early spring blooms to late-season texture, our perennials are chosen to bring beauty back year after year.

In spring, you’ll find a wide variety of perennial favorites including aster, bee balm, catmint, lavender, and yarrow—all beloved by pollinators like bees and butterflies. We also carry a strong selection of native plants and deer-resistant perennials, making it easier to create sustainable, low-maintenance landscapes.

As the season progresses, the perennial lineup expands to include peonies, Lenten roses (hellebores), heuchera, ferns, coneflowers, and coral bells, offering extended bloom times, rich foliage, and garden structure. During the winter months, our perennial area transitions to make room for fresh-cut Christmas trees, bringing seasonal tradition and greenery into the garden center while the perennials rest for their next cycle.
