Iowa Native Plants for Your Garden

Native plants are well-adapted to Iowa’s unique climate, including its cold winters, hot summers, and varying rainfall patterns. Because they are suited to local conditions, native plants typically require less supplemental water, fertilizer, and maintenance compared to non-native species.

Planting native species creates essential habitat and food sources for Iowa’s native wildlife. Birds, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators depend on native plants for nectar, seeds, and shelter. By choosing native plants, you help preserve biodiversity and support healthy ecosystems. Whether you are creating a garden, restoring a prairie, or landscaping your yard, native plants are a smart investment in Iowa’s natural future.
