Plant nursery near Maryville
Is there a plant nursery near Maryville, Illinois?
Sugarloaf Landscape and Nursery is the closest working nursery to Maryville, about 12 minutes away in Edwardsville. The 40-acre property grows 150,000+ plants on-site, and you are welcome to walk it: trees, perennials, and hostas in the ground they were raised in. Call (618) 692-0113 before you head over.
Maryville is the small town in the middle. Route 159 runs through it toward Glen Carbon on one side and Collinsville on the other, Route 162 heads out toward Troy, and all three of those corridor towns have grown fast enough that the garden aisles get picked clean by June. Maryville itself never got a nursery.
That makes Sugarloaf the nearest place where you can stand next to the actual plant before you buy it. The trees are still in the ground, the hostas and perennials are in their rows, and the people who grew them are the ones answering your questions.
Two ways to use the nursery

“I bought a Hibiscus tree over the summer that stayed in full bloom until fall. They also let me look around the property at all the plants and processes. I love that Sugarloaf Landscape Nursery is located where the plants are actually grown, and not just a store front in town.”Patrick S. · 5★ · Google

Planting notes
What grows well in Maryville yards?
Maryville yards sit in USDA zone 6b, the same zone as Sugarloaf’s growing fields about 12 minutes away in Edwardsville. Plants raised on the nursery’s 40 acres have already stood through the same winters and pushed roots through the same heavy Metro East clay, so nothing you take home is meeting this climate for the first time.
If a tree is on your list, aim for fall: the University of Illinois Extension calls early September to mid-October the strongest tree-planting window in Illinois, when warm soil grows new roots while cooler air takes the stress off the top. Spring is a close second, and the fields carry stock for both.
