Healthy Landscapes Plant List Native and Drought-Tolerant Plants Non-invasive Ontario native plant species and drought tolerant plants thrive in local conditions; this means less water, easier care, fewer pests, and less reliance on pesticides. They require minimal watering once established and very little maintenance. Native plants will grow best in your yard if planted in the same conditions that they thrive in nature. General Characteristics of Plant Species in this list: 1. All species are fully hardy in Guelph s climate 2. There is an emphasis on Ontario native species 3. The non-native species included in this list are not locally invasive Native Plants Plants are considered native, indigenous, or endemic to a region if they originated and are naturally occurring in that region. Many wild plants that we think of as native species were actually introduced during European settlement to North America. Plants that are native to Southern Ontario evolved here and have adapted to the regional climate, soils and wildlife. Plants native to Southern Ontario have vast differences of planting requirements. Therefore if possible buy plants from local nurseries who sell plants with seeds collected from this area. This will ensure that the plants you are using will be best adapted to local environmental conditions. Using local genetic stock is particularly important if your property is close to a park or natural area. This is because there will be exchanges of genetic material from your yard into these natural areas. By using native species from local stock you will ensure that Guelph s native plants will remain genetically adapted to local conditions. In addition to the benefits of lower cost and maintenance, using native plants can help sustain local ecosystems. Ecosystems are communities of plants and animals including the physical environments they inhabit. Creating healthy, sustainable ecosystems will promote the health of them for years to come. There are many native plants that have ornamental qualities equal to non-native species. Native plants provide food and shelter for native wildlife. The fruit of most shrubs and vines including dogwoods, viburnums, elderberry, sumac, serviceberry, chokecherry and raspberries attract a wide range of birds and small mammals. Tree species such as eastern white pine, hemlock and hawthorns provide cover for many bird species. Herbaceous plants provide nectar for butterflies and bees. Other species are fast growing or have deep root systems that help stabilize bare sites. You will find many native plants to suit your particular needs. Note: This is just a partial list of native and drought tolerant plants in this area. Talk to you local nursery, visit the Guelph Arboretum or research native plant web sites to learn more about native and drought tolerant plants that will thrive in your garden.
