The Landscape Plant Development Center is a national, non-profit research institute that develops durable plants that are tolerant of environmental and biological stresses.

While there are new plant introductions always taking place, the Center focuses its breeding research on creating and introducing significant landscape plants that have lasting value.

Plants that have lasting value promise to be with us year after year help to create sustainable landscapes for our communities and environment.

The LPDC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Center relies entirely on contributions and grants to support its important work. You can help the Center by joining efforts in developing new and improved plants for your landscape and gardens by making a tax deductible contribution.
