Our beloved birds—like cardinals, chickadees, orioles, bluebirds and so many more—must feed their babies insects and other invertebrates. For example, to raise one nest of chickadee babies, parents must forage up to 9,000 caterpillars to feed them (Brewer 1961*). Native trees, shrubs, and other plants provide food for insects that baby birds need, and supply adult birds with fat- and protein-rich seeds and berries to eat, as well as nesting habitat.

Look for Grow Native! tags when you shop for plants.

Adult monarch butterflies lay their eggs on milkweeds, and when the caterpillars hatch,

they eat the leaves and other plant parts.

Native bees, honeybees, butterflies, moths, and other insects pollinate the vast majority of flowering plants and one-third of our food crops. The landscape-worthy natives featured in the Pollinator Buffet series are among many flowering plants that will help you provide nectar and pollen from early spring through late fall for pollinators.

program features 10 of the many flowering plants native to the lower Midwest that provide nectar and/or pollen for

pollinating insects.

Insects are vital pollinators of many of our food crops. Tomato flowers, for example, are pollinated by bumble bees—no bumble bees, no tomatoes! Native plants provide additional food sources for pollinators, which is especially important when fruit and vegetable flowers are not in bloom.

Grow Native!’s

program features the 8 best native species of milkweed–as recommended by Monarch Watch–in the lower Midwest for monarch butterfly caterpillars (larvae).

Nectar of milkweeds attracts many

butterflies and other insects.

These spring wildflowers create a carpet of blooms in shady areas. Some of the many other natives for shade or part shade are American spikenard (Aralia racemosa), American beakgrain grass (Diarrhena obovata), Pennsylvania sedge (Carex pensylvanica), oak sedge (Carex albicans), and alumroots (Heuchera sp.)

Create a vibrant summer display with these natives that do well in full sun. Other landscape-worthy, top-performing natives for full sun include blue wild indigo (Baptisia australis), Texas green eyes (Berlandiera texana), blazing stars (Liatris sp.), prairie dropseed grass (Sporobolus heterolepis), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), butterfly milkweed (Ascepias tuberosa), New England aster (Symphyotricum novae-angliae), and purple prairie clover (Dalea purpurea).

Use natives for ponds and water features, which add beauty and help support amphibians. Emergent vegetation serves as perching places for aquatic insects, which in turn provide food for frogs. In addition to these native aquatics, also try southern blue flag (Iris virginica), copper iris (Iris fulva), water canna (Thalia dealbata), and water plantain (Alisma trivale).

Shade

Full Sun Aquatics

These natives work well as spreading groundcovers, in light to medium shade and dry to average soils. Other native groundcovers to try—all under 6 inches—are wild ginger (Asarum canadense), cedar sedge (Carex eburnea), barren strawberry (Waldsteinia fragarioides), and prairie pussytoes (Antennaria neglecta).

Try these natives for shade, sun, and wet conditionsThe Right Plant in the Right Place Try the

searchable Native Plant Database at grownative.org to create lists

of native plants for specific purposes. Here are some ideas to get you started!

Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica)

Celandine or wood poppies(Stylophorum diphyllum)

Invasive Callery/Bradford pear (Pyrus calleryana)

Native alternatives to highly invasive bush honeysuckle and Bradford/Callery pear include those at right as well as possumhaw (Ilex decidua), native viburnums (Virburnum sp.), and roughleaf dogwood (Cornus drummondii). Not only do these natives provide privacy, they also increase the biodiversity and beauty of your property.

Natives for Healthy Forage, Stormwater Management, and Erosion Control

Planting strips of prairie plants within row crop agriculture—even if only 10% of the area—dramatically improves water quality and habitat for pollinators and birds.

Native prairie plants provide nutritious, healthy forage for livestock that is drought-tolerant and also create habitat for grassland birds and other wildlife.

Use natives to absorb rainwater runoff from rooftops, parking lots, and other impervious surfaces. Directing water into the ground conserves the Earth’s freshwater resources and protects streams and property from flooding. Native plants used in rain gardens and bioswales also provide habitat for pollinators, birds, and more. Natives to try for rain gardens or saturated soils include those pictured here as well as palm sedge (Carex muskingumensis), rose mallow (Hibiscus lasiocarpos), cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis), button bush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), and many others.

Expand the use and enjoyment of natives by potting them in containers for your patio, porch, or balcony

Choosing native perennials for containers isn’t just a beautiful option, but an environmentally responsible one too: in addition to providing ecological benefits for insects and other creatures, using long-lived perennials in pots means you won’t be replanting them every year with annuals—which require heavy energy inputs in their hothouse cultivation. For each container, choose plants with contrasting heights and foliage, but with similar growing requirements (e.g., moist or dry, sun or shade).
