Ohio Native Perennials

Below are perennials that are native to the state of Ohio. Included on this list are some cultivars (cultivated varieties) and naturally-occurring hybrids that vary only slightly from the parent species.

Some native gardeners choose to incorporate cultivars into their plantings and some do not. You can identify these plants by the addition of an extra name in apostrophes (such as 'May Breeze').

For a more detailed look at Ohio native plants, please cross-reference these lists by the Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources, and this pollinator-centric list compiled by Hope Taft and Debra Knapke.
