Overview
Dauster's Greenhouse is a long-running St. Louis-area greenhouse with more than three decades of family operation behind it. The shop runs four greenhouse tunnels on-site and grows much of its retail inventory directly.
What makes Dauster's Greenhouse special?
A locally grown identity backed by Proven Winners certification, plus a deep, repeatable seasonal rotation, sets the operation apart from big-box garden departments.
- The annual selection runs wide across the season, with petunias, lantanas, begonias, vinca, pansies, calibrachoa, verbena, and mandevilla all turning up in the standard rotation.
- Perennials are a known specialty: canna, peonies, iris, salvia, coreopsis, gaillardia, shasta daisy, rudbeckia, coneflower, and catmint show up alongside hydrangeas and roses.
- Vegetable and herb starts cover the planting calendar from cold-season crops like lettuce, broccoli, kale, and cabbage through summer staples, including okra, Florida palms, and other less-common varieties.
What fellow gardeners are saying
- Repeat shoppers describe twice-yearly visits, for spring annuals and fall perennials, as part of their gardening calendar.
- Fall buyers call out the mum lineup specifically, with 9-inch pots of full plants earning notice for both price and quality.
- Long-time customers credit the friendly counter and plant variety for keeping the operation on their regular route.
