Resources for gardening with native plants

When landscaping with wildflowers and other natives, it is important to find local sources for the seeds and plants, because they will be the best adapted to your garden.  Below is a list of sources for plants/seeds from various growers in central Missouri, elsewhere in Missouri, and eastern Kansas.  If you are ever in doubt about the source of a plant, just ask.  Reputable growers will be happy to answer your questions.  Additional information on related groups with an interest in native plants is also found below.

If you find any errors in the listings or have information to add, please email wildonesmo@yahoo.com.  The Wild Ones does not endorse or guarantee any of the businesses or organizations listed below.
