Native & Regional

Region-specific native species and their ecosystem value. 20 plants and counting. Each written to the same care rubric.

Native species are worth more than their looks: they support local pollinators and wildlife in ways imported ornamentals don't. These profiles state the plant's true native range, where it should and shouldn't be planted, its ecological value, and any legal protection. Some, like the UK bluebell, are protected by law and illegal to dig from the wild.
