Provides winter food and cover for wildlife if not cut back until spring.

Annual/biennial, so allow to reseed. Best in a part shade, moist area. Can deadhead for additional blooms. Bumblebees and other long-tongued bees are the primary pollinators.

Tall and aggressive so not suited for small gardens, but has wonderful wildlife benefits if you have the space for it.

Prefers drier/well drain soils and is drought tolerant. Doesn't spread as quickly as the common or whorled milkweeds.

Biennial. Native thistles are not as aggressive as the non-native, invasive thistles and are an excellent food source for many pollinators and birds.

A unique long-blooming flower for your Monarch waystation or Goldfinch garden. Taproot allows it to withstand dry/drought conditions. The red corollas of this flower give it a unique look.

The leaves, long-lasting flowers, and fluffy seed heads of this plant add interest to your garden for several seasons. Visited by small bees and flower flies. Not preferred by deer or rabbits.

A beautiful Amsonia for a drier area. May be trimmed back after flowering to create a desired shape.

Native only to the Ozarks. Also called glade larkspur; likes full sun and dry, well-drained soil. Poisonous if ingested; deer resistant.

Tall, straight, fast-growing tree. Shallow rooted, plant with deep-rooted plants. Host of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly. Will sprout numerous seedlings in spring.

It's a goldenrod that looks like an aster. Good for rock garden, or other hot and dry conditions.

Beautiful woodland spring ephemeral. Leaves die back in summer, so plant with species that will hold form summer through fall. Spreads through roots to make colonies.

Can be finicky - prefers consistently rich, moist (but not wet) soil, and may take a few years for the flower to mature, but then you will be rewarded with beautiful summer flower heads.

Plant for its beautiful, bright red fall foliage. Needs something sturdy to climb on. Climbs by creating sucker discs that attach it to whatever it's climbing on (hopefully not your house). Will also creep along the ground. Fruits attract many species of birds; esp thrushes and woodpeckers, but other song birds as well.

Light green spots on early spring leaves look like water droplets, giving the name "waterleaf." Those spots disspear later in the season. Bees love this forest flower.
