At GreenBox, we’re committed to helping you create thriving, sustainable landscapes, one plant at a time. That’s why we’re excited to offer our Onsite Members an exclusive Plant of the Month perk: every month, you’ll receive a free 1-gallon native or edible perennial plant to add to your garden. This benefit is more than just a freebie—it’s a way to enrich your landscape, support local ecosystems, and enjoy the beauty and bounty of native plants.
Why Native and Edible Perennials?
Native plants are the backbone of healthy ecosystems. They are perfectly adapted to local conditions, requiring less water, fertilizer, and maintenance compared to non-native species. They also provide vital habitats for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.
Edible perennials, on the other hand, are a delicious way to create a sustainable and productive garden. These plants provide year-after-year harvests, reducing the need for replanting and supporting a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
January’s Plant of the Month: Bottlebrush Buckeye
This month, we’re thrilled to feature the Bottlebrush Buckeye (Aesculus parviflora) as our Plant of the Month. A stunning native shrub, the Bottlebrush Buckeye is known for its elegant, white, bottlebrush-shaped flowers that bloom in midsummer.
Here’s why this plant deserves a spot in your garden:
Pollinator Magnet: The showy flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, supporting biodiversity in your yard.
Shade Tolerance: Perfect for partially shaded areas, this shrub thrives where many other plants struggle.
Low Maintenance: Once established, the Bottlebrush Buckeye requires minimal care, making it a great addition for gardeners of all experience levels.
