Canadian Plants

Canada is home to many beautiful plants. Some have showy blooms while others are delicate, revealing themselves only to the slow and careful eye. All are beneficial to us and our wildlife. Visit the pages below to learn about native plants and how you can include them in your green space.

Discover why adding some regionally native plants to your garden - large or small - can bring both beauty and benefits to local and migratory wildlife.

 
 

Native Plant Encyclopedia

Search for Canadian native plants (and some non-native beneficials) by name, province, plant type, habitat and more. It's a great way to learn more about specific plants you saw in the wild or to discover new plants that might be suitable for your garden.
