About us
We're wild about native plants.
Especially deer-resistant, rabbit-resistant, well-behaved, native plants.
The shrub, perennial, and tree species we carry have been tested against our local wildlife populations and have survived and thrived.
The plants are well-behaved in that they’re self-contained or, if they do spread, it’s easy to manage.
We’re all about beautiful, low-maintenance gardens that are beneficial for local bird and insect populations.
In fact, we’ve tagged each plant with the beneficial role it plays, to help you best plan which visitors you want to spend your morning coffee with. (Our favorites are goldfinches, mourning doves, and pretty much any butterfly - even if that means some caterpillar-chewed leaves.)
For those few plants we carry that are susceptible to deer or rabbit browse, we’ve noted that too. So you can protect young plants and plan to co-exist as needed.
We also carry a handful of cultivars and near-natives (i.e., not native to Maryland but nearby - say, North Carolina - which bodes well for climate resilience), based on research that’s shown the plants' benefit to Maryland pollinators - often more so than the straight species.
Who are we
Wild Hydrangea is a licensed back-yard nursery growing in Owings Mills, Maryland.
Due to zoning restrictions, we cannot have retail traffic and therefore our location is not open to the public.
Rather, we deliver your order directly to you, at a date and time selected by you.
We do not ship orders. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Order online for free delivery in Baltimore, Howard, and Carroll counties.
Contact us for delivery outside these areas; delivery charges apply.
Or just email us your favorite garden story at gardenstories@thewildhydrangea.com.
Send pics! We love meeting other gardens.
