The Missouri Department of Conservation encourages you to discover nature and go native, with wildflowers.
The same plants that grace Missouri can enhance your home landscape with their beauty and benefits to wildlife.
Once established, these plants typically require little maintenance.
Native plants are a great option to plant.
They are adapted to our climate, to our soils.
They provide food sources for our native pollinators.
They are a lot easier upkeep then other ornamental plants because again, they are adapted to our local conditions.
A few popular choices include:
The Missouri primrose, or glade Lilly.
One of the showiest wildflowers...it opens in the late afternoon for night pollination by moths.
Tickseed coreopsis has long been appreciated as a hardy garden perennial.
Its name is derived from Greek and means "resembling a bug."
Purple coneflowers produce showy flowers throughout summer and are a good nectar source for butterflies. They also make excellent cut flowers.
Columbines' red, tubular flowers are a popular nectar source for hummingbirds.
