Nebraska Cooperative Extension G92-1074-A (Revised January 2004) Wildflowers for the Home Landscape: Perennials for Sunny Sites With proper selection, planting and care, wildflowers can be a beautiful and distinctive component of the home landscape. This NebGuide provides guidelines you can follow. Dale T. Lindgren, Extension Horticulturist Kim Todd, Extension Horticulturist Previous Category Catalog Order Info Wildflowers and native plants can be a unique and interesting addition to the home landscape. The terms "wildflower" and "native plant" are often used synonymously, but there are differences. Wildflowers are described as flowering herbaceous plants (forbs) that grow with little or no human assistance. They can be native or introduced. Native plants in the Great Plains are generally described as those found growing in a defined area prior to the arrival of European settlers. Native plants may be grasses, forbs, shrubs or trees. Wildflowers and native plants also may be classified as annuals, biennials or perennials. Perennials are plants that live for more than two years. Wildflowers can be used as landscape plants, as fresh cut flowers, in dried floral arrangements, to attract butterflies and for planting in conjunction with grasses in meadows or prairies. They also may be used in low maintenance areas and in sites requiring drought tolerant plants. However, some native species may be less drought tolerant than non-native species. Some native plants and wildflowers are highly adapted for wetland use as well.

Portal Wildflowers Home Page Plant Books 500+ Flower Photos ... Links Learning to Identify Plants by Families It will forever change the way you look at plants Grandma Josie always loved to walk her dogs down in the meadows, following cow trails through the thickets of willow and juniper along the creek. I loved to walk with her, and together we collected wild herbs for teas, such as yarrow, blue violets, peppermint, red clover and strawberry leaves. We drank herbal tea every day. When I was sick she gave me yarrow tea with honey in it, plus she buried cloves of garlic in cheese to help me get them down. Grandma kindled my love for plants. She taught me the plants she knew. Then I wanted to learn about all the rest. We collected unfamiliar flowers on our walks, and paged through books of color pictures to identify them. It was not a fast process, but I was a kid and had the luxury of time. If I could not find the name of a specimen in our books, then I brought it into the herbarium at the university and asked for help. They keyed out the plant and gave me the Latin name for it. At home I researched the name through all of my books to learn anything I could about the uses for that species. In this way I learned most of significant plants of southwest Montana before I was out of high school, or so I thought. Years later, married and with our house half built, Renee and I launched

Online Publications FOR-71 Wild about Wildflowers Thomas G. Barnes, Extension Wildlife Specialist They are all around us and thrive in roadsides, forests, meadows, wetlands, and, it seems, almost anywhere you travel across the state. They begin their colorful display as early as February or March in the woodlands with hepatica and purple cress and enrich the landscape until the frosts of autumn when the gentians flower in the woodlands. There is no time during the growing season that one of Kentucky’s more than 2,000 wildflowers is not blooming. The purpose of this publication is to provide information about native Kentucky wildflowers and their conservation in the wild. If you choose to develop a garden to attract wildlife or a garden based on native plant materials, the information and ideas contained in this publication will allow you to make a more informed choice about plant material. The gardening portion of this publication recommends using bare-root or container-grown plants because creating a prairie meadow or a “wildflower meadow” from seed requires specific information that will be provided in a future publication. If you plan to create one of these habitats in your landscape, consult a qualified individual who understands how to develop this type of environment. What is a Wildflower?

113. Wildflowers North Carolina has an abundance of wildflowers and native plants. wildflowers can be found in pastures, woodlands, wetlands, along beaches and roadways, http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/wildflowers/text_wildflow

Obtaining Plants Meadow Gardens North Carolina has an abundance of wildflowers and native plants. Wildflowers can be found in pastures, woodlands, wetlands, along beaches and roadways, and on rocky slopes. While many wildflowers can be found growing throughout the state, others naturally occur in only a few isolated locations. In modern usage, "wildflower" refers to a plant native to the region that has not undergone any major change or improvement by humans. Many wildflowers are not true natives, but plants that have naturalized after being introduced (accidentally or on purpose) from other parts of the country or world. Cultivars of native wildflowers have also been developed and have found their way into gardens. Some people believe wildflowers are hardy and thus easy to grow. For some plants this is true, but others need very specific growing conditions or they will decline and die. Some wildflowers are quite invasive and should be avoided except in meadow gardens. Success depends on matching the needs of each type of wildflower to specific site conditions. Try to select a location that closely resembles the growing conditions in nature; examine sunlight, moisture, and drainage conditions. Wildflowers can be used in combination with other perennials and annuals in flower beds and borders. Plants that prefer wet conditions can be used in a bog garden or on the edge of ponds or streams. A woodland or informal shade garden is probably the best option for a wooded site. If a site is sunny and dry, a meadow garden may be the best choice. The placement of plants in a design can be very formal, or plants can be grown in a naturalistic setting. Clusters or drifts of wildflowers are quite effective.
