Native Plants

Kansas native plants are indigenous to Kansas and include wildflowers, forbs, grasses, sedges, rushes, trees, shrubs, vines, ferns, mosses, and others. They are found in our prairies, woodlands, wetlands, and gardens. Learn more about the Definition of Native Plants.

"What a weekend! This really summarizes my experience at my first Annual Wildflower Weekend. I have met so many wonderful folks. Add to that everyone's great interest in native plants and the joy everyone had in learning new things, including me, and this experience could not have been better. To stand on a prairie with so many fellow grassland enthusiasts through rain, cool weather and even a distant funnel cloud on the final day, was simply amazing and I thank everyone for their kindness and making me feel welcome."
