Native plants for New York State gardens.

Native Plants for New York State Gardens.

If you’re planning a garden in New York State, native plants are the best choice you can make. These plants evolved in our local ecosystems, meaning they’re naturally adapted to the climate, soil, and wildlife of the region.

Native plants are low maintenance.

Native plants are low-maintenance, beautiful, and support biodiversity. They require less water, no synthetic fertilizers, and minimal care once established. That makes them perfect for gardeners who want a thriving, eco-friendly landscape without the extra work.

In New York State, native plant choices are diverse and stunning. Some excellent options include New England Aster, Purple Coneflower, Butterfly Weed, Joe-Pye Weed, and Wild Bergamot. These flowering perennials not only brighten up your garden but also attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

For shrubs and small trees, consider Serviceberry, Black or Red Chokeberry (Aronia), Red Osier Dogwood, or Northern Bayberry. These native plants offer year-round interest, from spring blooms to fall foliage and winter berries.

Native plants & resilience.

One of the biggest benefits of planting native is resilience. These plants are well-suited to New York’s four-season climate. They can handle drought, heavy rain, snow, and temperature swings far better than non-native species.

NY should look like NY.

Using native plants also helps protect New York’s natural heritage. They provide essential habitat for native insects, birds, and other wildlife, many of which depend on specific plant species to survive.
