Note 1. The asterisk (*) means
evergreen. This designation not used in the Perennial
section because many of these plants stay green,
but die back in the winter. Trees and shrubs are
"woody" plants, while the perennials
are vascular (non-woody) and tend to die back
in winter.
Note 2. In the Mid-Large Shrub
section, Black Hawthorne, Cascara and Serviceberry
are listed. Botanically they are classified as
shrubs, though most of us would consider them
small trees growing to 20-30'. They make excellent
Street Trees for narrow park strips or low wires
and fit superbly in urban and suburban lots!
How to Use this List
– While there are many other native plants,
here we list species that are commonly found in
our fields and forests, are available commercially,
and tend to fare well when planted in urban and
suburban yards. The list is ordered by height,
starting with trees and then descending to large
shrubs, small shrubs and herbaceous perennials
(which some folks may consider as “groundcovers”).
We suggest you place your larger plants first,
keeping in mind the views you want to preserve
or block, then fill in with the next level plant,
and so on, down to the perennial layer.
Within each category (except Trees)
is Full Sun, Part Sun and Full Shade. Many plants
can accommodate more than one of these regimes.
Select accordingly.
This list is intended has an introductory
list, though suitable in and of itself to create
a vibrant native landscape. For specific considerations,
such as create a hedge or dealing with a wet site,
or mixing with edibles or walkable plants, etc.,
please contact the store.
For a tutorial on how-to convert
to a native landscape, there is an excellent on
at PlantNative (www.plantnative.com).
Thanks for your interest and support
and have fun with your “restoration creation”!
