Right Plant / Right Place Selection Guide

2024 Growing Season

Use our Right Plant / Right Place Selection Guide to help you pick the plants that will work best for your site. Scroll down (or use the Navigation Guide) to find your site conditions and the type of plant you want.

Under each plant type you’ll find an expandable list of plants based on the season in which they bloom. Click on the appropriate season to expand the list and see thumbnail images of the species that match that description.

Clicking on a thumbnail will take you to a detailed description of that species. Some species, such as those that can grow in full sun or part sun, are listed in multiple locations.

This Right Plant / Right Place Selection Guide includes all the species that we are reasonably confident we’ll have at available at some point this year. This list is a work in progress and new species may be added if they become available.

If you are interested in purchasing any of our plants, please see our Availability and Logistics page.

• Please visit our Comprehensive List if you would like to see everything we are growing for the current season without it being divided up by site conditions.
• If you’re not sure what the right plant is for you and would like to take the “easy button” option for your first pollinator garden, then take a look at our curated Pollinator Garden Starter Kits.
