“The meadow is absolutely beautiful and full of life. So many bumble bees, honey bees, monarch butterflies and fire flies. I love to sit on the porch in the meadow and watch it teeming with life. Mackenzie is an artist. He designed the meadow and shared a sketch. He and Johnny then spent two days tearing up the lawn and installing the plants and a beautiful gravel path. As they were working, I asked them if they ever meditate. Mackenzie, paused from tearing up the Earth, smiled and said, this is our meditation. These guys love what they do. They're knowledgeable, reliable and just genuinely good souls. We feel very blessed to have found them through an internet search for native plants that are good for pollinators.”

“Mackenzie of the New York Flower Farm is an expert in native plants, passionate about wildlife conservation and at heart, truly a landscape artist. I have worked personally with Mackenzie on several landscape design projects from a cottage garden reimagining involving excavation, design and plant curation to elegant, visual and architectural statements including his beautiful maple trees and sculpture elements. Every time I am impressed by his talent, professionalism and fair prices. His New York Flower Farm tours are so inspiring! The amount of work, love and care he puts into his property and landscape shine year after year. I look forward to it every autumn! I cannot recommend Mackenzie and the New York Flower farm enough! Thank you for making our home into a dream garden homestead!”
— Catherine G Wallkill, NY | Homeowner
“I only wish I had discovered this company sooner. The plants are larger, healthier, and more fairly priced than other local nurseries. Having them delivered and installed at my job site was incredibly helpful. Mackenzie was very professional, and I didn’t need to micromanage the installation—saving me time, money, and stress.”
— Miranda Landscape Designer
“We love talking with Mackenzie at the Beacon Farmers Market—there’s always something new to see, and we never seem to have enough room in our garden.”
— Sarah & Mike Beacon Farmers Market shoppers
“I absolutely love my native plants from the New York Flower Farm. They’re gorgeous, robust, and made my garden look better almost immediately.”
— Hernandez family Dutchess County, NY | Homeowner
“Mackenzie is a true expert when it comes to landscaping. He came to our house, evaluated our gardens and made excellent recommendations for additions -- and he provided the plants as well! A full-service operation!”

‘Flame Thrower’ Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis ‘Flame Thrower’) is a striking native ornamental tree celebrated for its bold, color-shifting foliage and classic spring bloom. A cultivated selection of our native eastern redbud, ‘Flame Thrower’ brings dramatic seasonal interest to Hudson Valley landscapes while maintaining the ecological value and adaptability of the species.
In early spring, soft pink pea-like flowers emerge directly along the branches and trunk, creating a luminous display before the leaves appear. As the season progresses, foliage unfurls in rich burgundy tones before transitioning through fiery shades of red, orange, yellow, and green—often displaying multiple colors on the tree at once. This dynamic foliage gives ‘Flame Thrower’ its name and makes it a true focal point in the landscape.
Compact in stature and highly ornamental, ‘Flame Thrower’ works beautifully as a specimen tree, along woodland edges, or as a standout accent near patios, paths, and garden entries. Like all eastern redbuds, it supports early-season pollinators and contributes to layered, wildlife-friendly garden designs.
Plants Should Be Protected From Deer:
This plant should be fenced or grown within a fenced area to prevent deer browse. In low to moderate deer pressure areas, applying deer spray monthly is typically effective at preventing browsing. For trees with branches above 5 feet, fencing is not required; however, a tree tube is recommended while the tree is young to prevent buck rubbing in the fall.

Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis) is a show-stopping native perennial prized for its intense scarlet-red flower spikes, upright form, and exceptional pollinator value. Native to eastern North America, cardinal flower thrives in Hudson Valley and New York landscapes, where it brings vivid late-summer color and strong ecological function to moist garden settings.
From mid to late summer, Lobelia cardinalis produces tall, vertical spikes densely packed with brilliant red tubular flowers. The blooms are a critical nectar source for hummingbirds and are also visited by native bees and butterflies. Dark green to burgundy-tinged foliage provides a rich backdrop for the fiery blooms, adding depth and contrast to the garden.
Well suited to Hudson Valley residential landscapes, Cardinal Flower performs best in full sun to part shade with consistently moist to wet soils. It excels in rain gardens, along pond edges, in low areas, and in perennial borders where moisture is available. Its dramatic color, vertical habit, and wildlife value make it a cornerstone plant for pollinator-focused, native-forward, and water-wise landscape designs.

Swamp Milkweed ‘Ice Ballet’ (Asclepias incarnata) is a standout Monarch butterfly host plant for New York gardens, producing fragrant, bright white flowers in mid to late summer. Blooming in July and August, this elegant native perennial is especially well suited to pollinator gardens, white gardens, and native landscapes throughout the Hudson Valley.
Adapted to New York State growing conditions, ‘Ice Ballet’ thrives in moist to average soils and performs beautifully in rain gardens, meadow plantings, and mixed perennial borders. Its clean white blooms attract Monarchs and a wide range of native pollinators while supporting Monarch caterpillars as a critical host plant.
Very Deer Resistant
Selected for their strong deer resistance, these plants are dependable choices for New York gardens where deer browsing limits plant selection.

‘Cherokee Princess’ Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida ) is a classic selection of our native flowering dogwood, valued for its large white spring blooms, strong branching structure, and reliable performance in Northeast landscapes. Native to eastern North America, flowering dogwood is a beloved understory tree in Hudson Valley and New York gardens, where it brings elegance, seasonal rhythm, and ecological value to residential and naturalistic plantings alike.
In spring, ‘Cherokee Princess’ produces abundant, showy white bracts that appear just as the landscape begins to leaf out, creating one of the most iconic spring displays in New York woodlands and gardens. These blooms are followed by glossy green foliage through summer, bright red berries in fall that are highly attractive to birds, and rich burgundy to purple fall color. In winter, the tree’s layered branching and textured bark add subtle structure to the landscape.
Well suited to Hudson Valley residential landscapes, ‘Cherokee Princess’ performs beautifully as a specimen tree, along woodland edges, or beneath a light canopy. Like all flowering dogwoods, it supports native insects and birds and contributes to layered, wildlife-friendly New York garden designs.
Plants Should Be Protected From Deer:
This plant should be fenced or grown within a fenced area to prevent deer browse. In low to moderate deer pressure areas, applying deer spray monthly is typically effective at preventing browsing. For trees with branches above 5 feet, fencing is not required; however, a tree tube is recommended while the tree is young to prevent buck rubbing in the fall.
Why we love this tree
‘Cherokee Princess’ is a disease-resistant native flowering dogwood with magnificent spring flowers, red berries that birds adore, and rich burgundy fall foliage. This native tree is also a host plant for the Spring Azure butterfly.
