Native Pollinator Plants

Recommended Native Plants

This is a list of suggested plants native to the Atlantic southeast. Most of the plants listed can be found in all three regions of North Carolina. This list is not intended to be comprehensive and only highlights a selection of plants that many nurseries and gardens centers are likely to carry. For more comprehensive lists of native plants, see links to additional resources below including NCWF’s suggested North Carolina regional native plant list.

You can also purchase NCWF's custom Butterfly Highway seed packets, which include the seeds of up to seven native plants that support pollinators and other wildlife!
