Hoffman Nursery Inc. announces new perennial line and Green Infrastructure Collection

Recognizing the growing demand for native perennials, especially in green infrastructure measures, Hoffman Nursery is releasing the Green Infrastructure Collection.

The collection includes Hoffman's existing Grass Solutions line and the new Perennial Solutions line, which features 18 flowering perennials.

The plant selections in the Green Infrastructure Collection are designed to improve water quality, reduce water quantity and provide significant ecosystem services, aesthetic value and human health and well-being benefits.

“With the increased number of initiatives for nature-based solutions using native plants, it is a natural progression and supports our core purpose to establish the Green Infrastructure Collection and Perennial Solutions line to complement our existing Grass Solutions line,” says David Hoffman, chief operating officer at Hoffman Nursery. “The Green Infrastructure Collection streamlines the process for customers to source and cultivate these plants for their green infrastructure programs or projects, since many of the plants in the collection are approved for use in municipal and state stormwater design manuals. Additionally, our sales team members who are SCM (stormwater control measures) Inspection and Maintenance certified are another dimension of the Green Infrastructure Collection our customers can use to make sound plant choices for green infrastructure measures.”
