As NWF Naturalist, allow me to give a little clarity to this post.<br /><br />After reading the comments it became obvious that the photos included in the post were a source of confusion, so we removed them. American Beauties Native Plants does not sell hybrid plants in the program. We never have, and have no intention to do so in the future. <br /><br />In her guest blog, Peggy Anne Montgomery’s goal was to explain the philosophy behind the program and to educate readers about native species, cultivars and their role in the garden. The photos weren't meant to illustrate plants sold under the American Beauties Native Plants brand, but that wasn’t clear and again why we removed them. <br /><br />In addition to getting more wildlife friendly native plants in American landscapes, our goal is to educate consumers on the benefits of natives and the value that gardens can have to wildlife and the ecosystem. I encourage you to check out the American Beauties Native Plants website at www.abnativeplants.com, which has great information, including plant profiles, garden designs and the kinds of wildlife that will be supported by each plant.dmizejewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757368261771098768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14731145.post-86197380005127066502012-05-15T17:14:00.962-04:002012-05-15T17:14:00.962-04:00greetings from Amish country.
