Want a thriving garden?

Start by heading back to Kansas roots. Using native plants and flowers will not only ensure a prosperous patch, it can also help you save time, money and the environment.

There are a wide variety of beautiful native plants that naturally thrive in Kansas climates. As a result, these plants can stop you from reaching for your pocket book to pay for unnecessary lawn chemicals. They also require less long-term maintenance and use less water since they are already accustomed to warm Kansas summers.

But before you dig in, consider the height, placement and sun tolerance of each plant before selecting its spot in the garden.
