Are you ready to add some native plants to your landscape? Here are some resources INPS members have developed especially for Indiana gardeners.
Plant Lists
These lists present garden-worthy Indiana natives for your flower garden and for your woodland, woods edge, grassland or wetland. We’ve included plants that are readily available through retail nurseries and mail-order sources.
The lists are not exhaustive but aim to introduce you to reliable, well-behaved natives that can be used decoratively, to attract wildlife, or to restore the balance of nature to a landscape.
