Georgia native plants

More Information About Georgia native plants

Botanically speaking, Georgia is a very interesting state for native plants. Like many East Coast states, Georgia has a wide variety of terrains from mountains, to flatland forests, to coastal sandhills, to swamps and beaches... and thus a wide variety of native plants. Georgia is also the largest state east of the Mississippi river by land area. This wide variety of habitats and large size means that there are a large number of Georgia native plants... over 3,600 species. Here at Plant Delights Nursery, we have an enormous on-line plant catalog and have searched through it to create this mini-catalog of Georgia native plants that look great in the landscape.

Georgia native plants include all the major plant groups that gardeners covet including orchids (cypripedium), palms (sabal), ornamental grasses (schizachyrium, chasmanthium, panicum, sorghastrum, sporobolus), carnivorous plants (sarracenia), wildflowers (asclepias, silene, sisyrinchium, vernonia), woodland plants (arisaema, hepatica, heuchera, iris, gentiana, thalictrum, trillium, sanguinaria), ferns (adiantum, asplenium, polystichum, osmunda), and woody perennials (cimicifuga, solidago).
