Name | Type | Light Exposure | Soil Moisture | Height | Bloom Color | Bloom Months | Notes/Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sweet Flag Acorus calamus ![]() |
2 feet | USDA Info | ||||||
Ohio Buckeye Aesculus glabra ![]() |
20 to 40 feet | USDA Info | Easily grown in average, Medium well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, fertile soils. Foliage tends to scorch and generally depreciate in dry conditions. This is a taprooted tree that once established is very difficult to transplant. | |||||
Tall Hairy Agrimony Agrimonia gryposepala ![]() |
1 to 5 feet | USDA Info | There are 2 species of agrimony in Minnesota, Tall Hairy Agrimony and Roadside Agrimony (Agrimonia striata). Differences between them are subtle, the more obvious are that the latter has hairy underside of leaves, not just along the veins, the flowering branches are mostly erect, it is more densely hairy all the way up the stem, and it tends to be a larger, more robust plant overall. | |||||
Cream Wild Indigo Baptisia bracteata ![]() |

Marsh Marigold Caltha palustris ![]() |

Partridge Pea Chamaecrista fasciculata ![]() |
1 to 2 feet | USDA Info | ||||||
Prairie Coreopsis Coreopsis palmata ![]() |
2 feet | USDA Info | This coreopsis species performs best on dry soil in full sun, and will bloom continuously if spent flowers are removed. A good species to include in prairies or perennial gardens. In part shade it will not bloom as well. Damper soils will encourage spreading by roots. | |||||
Umbrella Flatsedge Cyperus diandrus ![]() |
1 to 2 feet | USDA Info | Umbrella flat sedge is an ornamental grass often seen at the edges of rivers and ponds. It is a warm season perennial and grows best in USDA zones 8 to 11. The plant may become invasive in some areas, so it is important to become familiar with the plant and recognize its characteristics before adding it to your garden area. | |||||
Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle Diervilla lonicera ![]() |
4 feet | USDA Info | One of the most popular native shrubs, dwarf bush honeysuckle grows well under a wide range of growing conditions with a nice 3'x3' shape, taller in sun. It spreads by runners, and some gardeners may want to pull or cut them to avoid excessive spreading. | |||||
Leatherwood Dirca palustris ![]() |
6 feet | USDA Info | The yellow early spring flowers and red fall fruit make this an attractive choice for a shaded shrub in a landscape. Leatherwood is one of the few native shrubs blooming abundantly in deep shade, due to its early leaf-out. It is a shrub indicating an old growth forest. The bark of Dirca palustris has been know to cause dermatitis. | |||||
Quackgrass Elymus repens ![]() |
1 to 3 feet | USDA Info | Quackgrass is a native of Europe, but has spread throughout the northern temperate zones of the world. It is primarily found in the northern portion of the U.S., and is common throughout Ohio. Quackgrass is a creeping, sod-forming perennial grass, characterized by its straw-colored, sharp-tipped rhizomes (horizontal underground stems) and the pair of whitish-green to reddish, claw-like structures (auricles) that clasp the stem at the top of the sheath. It reproduces through seed and creeping rhizomes. This species can form large patches. | |||||

Yellow Water Buttercup Ranunculus flabellaris ![]() |
2 to 3 feet | USDA Info | A similar aquatic species is Small Yellow Water Crowfoot (Ranunculus gmelinii), which has smaller flowers (less than ½ inch), and smaller leaves that are typically wider than long and less finely divided. | |||||
Macoun's Buttercup Ranunculus macounii ![]() |
1 to 2 feet | USDA Info | With relatively ample wetlands and marshes to provide for some representation across the state, Macoun's Buttercup's range restriction to NW Minnesota and westward would seem to be some indication of a preference for cooler latitudes and more alkaline soils. Within that range in Minnesota it is by no means abundant. It does bear some resemblance to two other native buttercups, both of which are more prevalent in eastern and southern portions of the state. Pennsylvania Buttercup (R. pensylvanicus) is similar in size and leaf shape and also has bristly hairs throughout, but its stems tend to be less stout and do not root at the nodes, and its flowers are half the size, with small round petals and a cylindrical seed head. Hispid Buttercup (R. hispidus) has very similar flowers to R. macounii, somewhat the same stature and leaf shape, and as it name suggests can be quite hairy, but its stems are typically more slender and more spreading to ascending, densely hairy when young becoming nearly smooth with age. Its leaves are also more evenly divided into three main segments that are also more regularly incised into smaller lobes or just merely toothed where the lobing of R. macounii leaves is more irregular | |||||

Black-eyed Susan Rudbeckia hirta ![]() |
1 to 2 feet | USDA Info | Black-eyed Susan is one of the most commonly recognized native plants. A staple in many native gardens, it is a biennial that blooms in its second year and readily reseeds. Finches also enjoy the seeds. | |||||

Sandbar Willow Salix interior ![]() |
5 to 10 feet | USDA Info | This shrub has two growth forms: a small tree up to 20' tall with a trunk up to 6 inches across, or a thicket of little-branched woody stems up to 8' tall. An older tree develops gray flaking bark on its trunk, while the trunk bark of younger trees is gray and more smooth. Woody branches and slender stems are variably colored, but often gray or yellowish-brown and smooth. The alternate leaves are up to 5 inches long and 1/2 inch across; they are linear in shape and remotely denticulate along their margins. Mature leaves are usually hairless; their upper surfaces are medium green, while their lower surfaces are pale green. | |||||

Zig Zag Goldenrod Solidago flexicaulis ![]() |
3 feet | USDA Info | Zig Zag Goldenrod gets its name from the way that its stems 'zig zag' from leaf to leaf. These leaves are bluntly toothed all along the stem with the middle leaves usually the largest at 6 inches long and 4 inches wide. The small flowers appear from late summer to early fall in a cluster near the top of the plant. Zig Zag Goldenrod can be aggressive and therefore may not be suitable for small woodland gardens. | |||||
