Native plants are species that naturally occur in a particular region without human introduction. They've evolved alongside local wildlife and are perfectly adapted to your area's climate and soil.

Native plants require less water, fertilizer, and maintenance than non-natives. They support local pollinators and wildlife, help prevent erosion, and create beautiful, sustainable gardens.

Fall is ideal for most native seeds as they need cold stratification over winter. Spring planting works too, but you may need to cold-stratify seeds in your refrigerator first.

Most native plants prefer lean soil. Remove weeds, loosen the top layer, and avoid adding fertilizer. Native plants thrive in natural conditions without heavy amendments.

Once established, most native plants need minimal watering. During the first year, water regularly to help roots develop. After that, they'll thrive on natural rainfall.

Absolutely! Native plants have co-evolved with local pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. They provide essential nectar, pollen, and habitat that support healthy ecosystems.
