About this data
“Native” means the USDA lists the plant as native to the region, and it has been recorded in this state. Records come from USDA PLANTS county and state data.
Why some counties look empty. A county with few or no records usually hasn't been surveyed much — it doesn't mean few plants grow there. Try a neighboring county or the whole state.
Rare plants. County locations of rare and at-risk plants are withheld, and they are never featured here, to protect them.
Safety. Hazard data is incomplete. Check a plant's safety notes in the tool before planting where children or pets play.
