Perennials
Offering unique and exclusive perennial plants has been the foundation of how High Country Gardens' has built its reputation.

We are particularly well known for our drought resistant/drought tolerant perennials (xeric plants), that once established will need very little water to thrive. We have hundreds of water-thrifty and native plants to choose from, many developed exclusively for High Country Gardens by our founder and chief horticulturist, David Salman.
