Description

Our Ecoregion Native Plant Collection - Central USA Plains is designed for avid native plant gardeners and beginning gardeners alike. Enjoy the beauty of resilient native plants in your yard or garden!

The Central USA Plains Ecoregion (Ecoregion 8.2) is an EPA Level II Ecoregion. This ecoregion includes large portions of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Large cities within the ecoregion include Chicago, IL; Detroit, MI; and Indianapolis, IN; Columbus OH; and Milwaukee, WI. This ecoregion is distinguished by its temperate climate, with landscapes featuring flat plains, gently rolling hills, and a mosaic of deciduous and mixed forests.

A keystone species is one that has a significant influence on the diversity of other species in its environment. In terms of the plant world, keystone plants are native plants that provide essential food and shelter to support habitat for wildlife, such as birds, pollinators, and beneficial insects. Keystone plants, including the plants in this collection, are important for a healthy ecosystem and a thriving web of life.
