Go native in your yard
Create natural landscaping that needs less watering and chemicals, and is
resistant to pests and diseases. Attract birds, butterflies and beneficial
wildlife to your yard. Reduce erosion and protect water quality.
We've taken the headache out of finding the right Pacific Northwest native
plants for your yard. Choose your soil type, sunlight needs, growing rate,
plant and foliage type. The Native Plant Finder will do the work to suggest the
right plants for your landscape. You'll in turn reduce water pollution and
stormwater runoff for clean rivers and a healthy watershed.
The Native Plant Finder features 50 common native plants. There are
approximately 450 native species in the Pacific Northwest. We are continually
adding more plants in order to give you a larger representative sample.
For additional native plant information, check out our list of
Tualatin Basin native plants and the book, Plants of the Pacific
Northwest Coast: Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, and Alaska, by
Jim Pojar and Andy MacKinnon. Special thanks to Craig W. Edminster from
Pacific Northwest Natives in Albany, Oregon.
Happy and healthy gardening!
