Wildtype Native Plants

For more than 25 years Wildtype has specialized in growing plants native, grown from Michigan genotypes. We grow trees, shrubs, grasses, wildflowers, and emergent wetland species typical of Michigan woodlands, wetlands and prairies.  It is our objective to propagate nursery stock with enough genetic diversity to create self-sustaining populations.  Therefore, the majority of our plants are grown from wild seed stock.  This is what we mean when we say our plants are "borne to be wild".  

​

Wildtype also provides ecological services for public, commercial and residential projects focusing on restoration and preservation of native landscapes.  Some of our services include invasive species management, native plant installation, site assessment, and botanical surveys.
