Foliage is only 10" tall; flower spikes can reach 6'. Native to Ozark region and further south. Can tolerate dry conditions – good for a warm, dry, sandy or rocky location. Mostly pollinated by moths.

A grass for your shady areas! Tolerates very wet soil. Plant in mass or allow to colonize for best show.

Male & female parts on different plants - need both parts to get decorative berries.

Pond plant. Will spread rapidly and take over an entire pond. May be best grown in a pot so they don't take over your whole pond.

Can form a bush-like plant, getting as wide as tall. Great for late-season nectar that the pollinators will love. Fragrant leaves.

An understory shrub that can be used as a hedge or screen. Blue-black berries provide food for birds and mammals in the fall (but not humans). Pretty fall color could be yellow, red, or reddish purple.

Can be aggressive, may need to weed, but seeds are great for birds. Better in larger gardens. A study in KC showed that Helianthus is one of the plant genera in our area that attracts the largest number of different bee species.

Cute as a button, these short perennials will attract pollinators in last spring/early summer.

Prefers some shade and wetter soils. Can form dense clumps; spreads through long rhizomes. Browsed by deer; seeds eaten by birds.

Pollinators love this plant! Has a minty scent. Provide good air circulation to help prevent powdery mildew, which will turn the leaves gray but likely won't kill the plant.

Plant in poorer soils for shorter and more erect plantings. Can be aggressive.

A nice groundcover for a site with poor soil that is well drained; does not tolerate wet feet. May sometimes bloom again in the fall. Hosts fritillary butterflies.

Fast growing shade tree in rich soil. Beautiful bark, flowers, and fall color. Attracts birds for the fruit and the many caterpillars that feed on the tree. Bitter fruit not edible for humans unless cooked.
