Here’s another link to Wild Ones explaining why to choose native plants over non natives.

What natives do you have growing?

    I’m replacing my whole backyard with drought tolerant native plants. It’s a work in progress and a constant battle against the weeds at the moment because it’s about 5,000 square feet of area.

    So far I have echinacea, mock orange, golden currant, several species of penstemon (cut-leaf, grandiflora, Rocky Mountain), a juniper tree, yarrow, sagebrush, chokecherries, showy milkweed, orange globemallow, and elderberries.

    The milkweed is probably my favorite right now while things are growing in. I swear it is bigger every time I look at it.
