Oklahoma Native Plants for people and pollinators

The native plants of Oklahoma are rarely incorporated into ornamental landscape plans. But why? Those plants have evolved to thrive in the diverse ecosystems of Oklahoma while supporting native wildlife.

In this book, Oklahoma Landscape Architects Connie Scothorn and Brian Patric provide a conversational discussion of the beauty and benefits of many of the native plants. This will help you choose, plant and care for native forbs and grasses that pollinators, such as bees, butterflies and birds so desperately need to thrive. 

This second edition of Oklahoma Native Plants has been written to include over 200 full color images, over 100 native plants and more advice to encourage a greater success with native plants in Oklahoma’s ornamental landscape. 

Oklahoma Native Plants includes the latest planting zone maps, a Q&A, Plant Selection Guide, an index of plant names (common and scientific) and additional resources, with pages of beautiful color photography of the plants themselves.
