browsing: Kansas Native Plants
Plants in this group can be found within the borders of Kansas. Please note that plants from different ecoregions of the state can have very different cultural needs. For example, some native Kansas plants indigenous to western Kansas can’t handle eastern Kansas soil and rainfall.
For this reason, it’s best to select plants from the Osage Cuestas of the Central Irregular Plains Ecoregion to find those best suited to our growing conditions.
You can find Douglas County, Kansas native plants linked here.
We grow and sell plants that thrive in our local conditions, so all native Kansas plants listed in this group will perform well in Douglas County and the surrounding area.
