Keystone Flora, LLC

Keystone Flora, LLC is a small native plant nursery located in the Historic Wooden Shoe Hollow neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, in the United States. The business has been propagating native plants since 2004 and became a limited liability corporation in 2007. Its mission is to propagate and sell native plants from its local region using seeds and cuttings generated from its own nursery and plantings, with typical source material coming from within roughly 100 to 150 miles of the tristate area around Cincinnati — spanning parts of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. The nursery specializes in true native plants rather than cultivars, and its retail offering is organized around perennials, grasses, shrubs, and vines. Keystone Flora emphasizes that native plants provide the proper natural resources for birds, butterflies, bees, and diverse insect species that pollinate the ecosystem and food supply. The company states that its plants are grown from seeds and cuttings at its nursery without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and that it does not import its retail stock. Keystone Flora operates on an appointment basis, asking customers to call before visiting so that they can receive proper care and attention. It has been open for appointments in early April in recent seasons and maintains a printable plant list on its website. The nursery also offers gift certificates. Its facilities include several growing structures referred to as the A and B House, South House, Hoop House, and North House. As a small, locally focused horticultural business, Keystone Flora is positioned within the native plant and pollinator-garden movement, serving gardeners and conservation-minded customers in and around Cincinnati who want regionally adapted, pesticide-free native stock. It is a private, independently operated LLC rather than a publicly traded company or a subsidiary of a larger corporate group.
