Spring Plant Sale Information

Join us in the lush gardens of the Hampton-Preston Mansion for the 2023 Spring Plant Sale!

One of two plant sales Historic Columbia holds every year, attendees will be able to purchase and learn about a wide array of plants propagated from the Living Collections across all of our historic sites. From herbaceous plants and woody perennials to evergreen plants, all of the selections that will be offered are integral to the stories we tell on our sites and most are either rare or not offered elsewhere. Examples include a gold-foliaged selection of American Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis ‘Blonde Envy’), a rare Golden Lotus Banana (Musella lasiocarpa), and the impressively tall Mexican Tree Dahlia (Dahlia imperialis)!
