Native Plants by Region – learn what grows best in your region by reaching out to community groups such as Master Gardener Associations and Master Naturalist Associations.
Why do native plants matter? Native plants protect soil health, reduce overwatering, reduce erosion and weathering, and are easier to keep alive during unexpected weather events. While popular turf grasses like Bermuda and St. Augustine are frequently seen at new home build sites, native grasses such as buffalo grass and little bluestem dwarf their root structures while also creating a healthy soil profile.
