Midwest Native Plants

The Midwestern United States is home to a plethora of native plants that are not only beautiful but also well-adapted to the local climate. Let’s explore some:

  • Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea): With its distinctive pink-purple petals and spiky center, this perennial is a classic Midwest native that also attracts butterflies.
  • Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa): Known for its fragrant leaves and lavender flowers, this perennial draws bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
  • Bluestem Grasses (Andropogon gerardii and Schizachyrium scoparium): These tall, perennial grasses add movement and a beautiful autumn color to the landscape.
  • Compass Plant (Silphium laciniatum): A tall, sun-loving perennial with large yellow flowers. It’s named for its leaves, which tend to align themselves north-south.
  • Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum pedatum): This delicate-looking fern is great for shaded areas and has unique, fan-shaped leaves.
