New Species Descriptions Resource

We are Excited to Announce Updated Species Description Resources!

Updated species descriptions now include fire and salinity tolerance metrics plus photos! Description terms have been clarified on the Terms Definitions page. Perennials and groundcovers are now organized by bloom color. Whether you're planning a restoration or garden project, we hope that our species descriptions can help you select the right native plants for your landscape.

Salinity and fire tolerance data is gathered from the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service Plant Characteristics database, accessible here.

In 2025 we are working to update our Online Resource Library. Stay tuned for new education resources soon!

    Excellent. We can always use another source, especially for expert opinion on transplanting and propagation success rates.
