Primitive By Design full plant list below ordering information.
Fall 2026 Pre-order information will be available soon! However we will always consider sales if items are available. Just email us!
We sell native, heirloom, and hard to find sustainable plants.
1. All information has been referenced courtesy of NC State. For any plant, google the name of the plant and add NC State or Missouri Botanical Garden in the search to read more. For example: Helianthus tuberosus NC State
2. Email order and/or inquiry to [email protected] - Pick up is usually on Fridays from 3-7; we do not ship plants. Other arrangements can be scheduled. Check or cash is preferred; otherwise service charge of 3% is added to CC. Make checks out to Primitive By Design. Once we receive your order, we will provide directions on where to pick up in West Columbia.
3. While we would love to answer every question about what plant to put where, it is just not feasible. You know YOUR conditions better than we do. With all the information at the tips of your fingers, we suggest doing some self-guided research.
4. Inventory changes frequently; therefore we do not publish weekly availability. It is best to email us at [email protected]. While you might order something, that does not guarantee we sell out before your order is processed.
5. We will let you know if something is sold out or not looking good. Things changes daily - thanks to erratic weather.
Note for choosing the number of plants you would like: 1 plant is lonely unless it is as a specimen plant massed with other plants to highlight it. 2 of the same is too formal. 3 or odd numbers are recommended unless for larger trees.
Once our healthy plants leave our premise, we do not know what you do with the plants; therefore, only you and your environment/care can help to guarantee success.
Spring 2026 - some plants are in lower than expected quantities due to the prolonged cold in January.
Simply write the name and number of plants desired and email us.
