Bendy Stem Farm a small native plant nursery located in Dimondale, MI. We strive to support anyone to add native plants to their yard; whether that’s incorporating a few plants to the existing landscape or installing pollinator gardens or meadowscapes.
About Wildtype Native Plant Nursery
Wildtype was established in 1996. For more than 20 years we have specialized in growing plants native to Michigan, 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”. We keep track of when and where the seeds or cuttings were collected and where and how they were grown and handled. This information can be supplied upon request.
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.
The name of the nursery, WILDTYPE, is borrowed from the genetic term “wild type,” which describes the typical genetic form that occurs in the natural environment. The name reflects the genetic status of the plants being propagated. Our plants are primarily grown from wild seed stock and therefore have not been bred or intentionally selected for uniformity. The majority of seeds (and in some cases cuttings) of the species listed were collected in Michigan.
Why Native Plants?
Native plants provide multiple benefits to people and wildlife, while contributing greatly to healthy soil and water in urban and rural areas. Benefits of growing native plants include: Native plants help you use less fertilizers, pesticides, and water; native plants help you keep the air around you cleaner, provide shelter and food for wildlife and support pollinators, promote biodiversity and stewardship of our natural heritage, and have been shown to save money in many different ways.

Why Rain Gardens?
While the plants available for purchase are native, they are also good species for rain gardens. Rain gardens are designed to capture rain water and prevent the rapid release of excess stormwater into municipal water systems. A well placed rain garden reduces runoff and flooding, and filters pollutants carried in stormwater runoff. Along with the municipal benefits and the conservation of a valuable natural resource, rain gardens create excellent habitat for birds and butterflies. An individual rain garden may seem like a small thing, but collectively they produce substantial neighborhood and community environmental benefits. Rain gardens improve water quality – they can reduce the amount of pollution reaching creeks and streams by up to 30%.

Selecting Species
Below is a list of recommended species, all native or nearly native to Michigan, suited to rain gardening, with options to fit a variety of soil, light, and moisture conditions. The majority of these species provide showy blooms for the gardener to enjoy, as well as providing pollinator habitat, forage, and supporting song birds and other wildlife!
When planning your garden, we recommend planting 12-18” apart, choosing a variety of flowering species suited to your site as well as 30-50% ground cover species. Planting densely and utilizing ground covers will lower weed pressure and make garden maintenance much easier, as well as increasing your rain gardens ability to hold and absorb water! Dense plantings also decrease watering needs during dry weather; the increased shade and ground cover will reduce water loss from evaporation.
