Western Pennsylvania native plants grow in a huge rainbow of colors, are extremely
hardy and have wonderful names.
Blue Curls, Thimbleweed, Goat’s Beard, Seedbox, Bishop’s Cap, Monkey Flower, Nodding Onion,
Virgin’s Bower, Ninebark, Solomon’s Seal, Fire Pink, Nannyberry, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Boneset,
Squirrel Corn, Dutchman’s Breeches, Foamflower, Spicebush, Joe Pye, Cardinal Flower , Witchhazel,
Spicebush-- among many others, are all part of our rich native plant heritage.
These plants grew naturally here in Western PA before the arrival of European settlers and have
evolved and adapted naturally to thrive in the soils, climate, topography and moisture conditions
of the Pittsburgh Plateau. These plants belong here with us in our local landscapes and yet many
are disappearing.
We can enrich our sense of place and well being and increase biodiversity by planting and growing
natives.
