There are a few different ways to find native plants. One way is to visit your local nursery or garden center and ask about native plants. Another way is to search online for native plant nurseries or garden centers in your area. You can also contact your local Cooperative Extension office for more information about native plants.

Once you have found a native plant nursery or garden center, you can ask the staff for help in choosing plants that are native to your area. The staff should be able to help you choose plants that will thrive in your climate and soil conditions.

To know what plants are considered native for different insects, you can consult a native plant database. There are many different native plant databases available online. One popular database is the USDA Plants Database. This database allows you to search for plants by their scientific name, common name, or by their native range.

When choosing native plants, it is important to consider the needs of the insects that you want to attract. For example, if you want to attract butterflies, you will need to choose plants that have nectar-rich flowers. If you want to attract hummingbirds, you will need to choose plants that have tubular flowers.

By choosing native plants, you can help to create a more sustainable and wildlife-friendly landscape. Native plants are better adapted to local conditions and are less likely to require pesticides or other treatments. They also provide food and habitat for a variety of wildlife, including insects, birds, and mammals.
