Cavano’s Perennials now licensed grower of American Beauties Native Plants
Cavano’s Perennials has joined American Beauties Native Plants as a licensed grower, providing garden-worthy native plants.
Wholesale nursery Cavano’s, located in Kingsville, Maryland, provides plants to garden centers, landscape contractors, re-wholesalers and municipalities through the eastern U.S.
Having a natural inclination toward caring for the environment and wanting to encourage the use of native plants in the landscape reportedly led Cavano’s to American Beauties, the first native plant brand in the U.S.
“The synergy between Cavano’s Perennials and the family of nurseries in the American Beauties Native Plants program will allow Cavano’s Perennials to bring to the garden centers a carefully vetted and curated line of native plants,” said Ferenc Kiss, president and co-owner of Cavano’s Perennials. “We are very proud of being part of this program.”
Cavano’s was already committed to producing native plants — with 75% of their production falling into that category — before joining American Beauties; it now includes over 100 plants in the American Beauties Native Plants program. Marketing efforts are under way to present education events at local garden centers, especially in June for National Pollinators Month.
American Beauties Native Plants was founded 18 years ago to spread awareness of the importance of using native plants in the landscape. The brand works with native plant experts to bring plants to gardens that are proven solutions for garden centers, landscapers and home gardeners.
