Missouri
Missouri sits at the crossroads of the Great Plains, Ozark Highlands, and eastern forests, giving it one of the richest native floras in the Midwest. Native plants are adapted to Missouri's soils and climate, generally require less irrigation, and provide important habitat for birds, butterflies, bees, and other wildlife. Missouri is home to some of the Midwest's best native plant nurseries, offering prairie wildflowers, grasses, woodland plants, shrubs, and trees adapted to Missouri's diverse ecosystems.
