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”!
