Native Plants Database

Build a plant list for your region with filters for bloom season, light, soil, and pollinator benefits.

Find plants that match your space

The database helps you select native plants that fit your region and growing conditions. Use it to build a plant list, compare bloom times, and support specific pollinator groups.

Filter options

  • Region or province
  • Plant type (perennial, annual, shrub, tree, groundcover)
  • Bloom season (spring, summer, fall)
  • Pollinator type (bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies)
  • Sun exposure (full sun, partial, shade)
  • Soil moisture (dry, moderate, wet)

How to use the database

  1. Select your region to see native plant options.
  2. Choose a bloom season to plan continuous flowers.
  3. Filter by sunlight and soil to match your site.
  4. Add at least one plant per season to your list.
Tip: Include at least two early-blooming plants to support pollinators emerging in spring.
