    I have a native grunge area in my yard but didn't know what to do with it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

    so, are there any native-to-Michigan plants I could put in mid-autumn? I need to wait for the house to get built before I can landscape but most things won't do well with being planted that late, will it?

      My advice would be to wait till spring. I have found that some nurseries will sell perennial native plants in pots that could be put in, but will probably be sold out. A lot of native species actually germinate better when the seeds go through a winter season. So, what you could do is throw some seed down this fall, or put some seeds in the fridge for a month or so then plant in spring. I've had success with both methods.

    Finding the names of native plants seems to be easy enough. Finding seeds for them is next to impossible. I can't just walk out in a city park with a shovel and start taking things home, so I dunno how to get native plants.

      try going to a local plant nursery and asking for some seeds or google and find local wildflowers and the. during spring go harvest some seeds :)

      In what region do you live? What I've done in the past is find a park or a friend that has natives on their property and collect the seeds. The "Pollinator mix" packets at Walmart usually has nonnative species in them so I steer clear of those.

      @@ChristopherPisz I found some places online that sell Texas native seeds, anywhere from $3-18 if you have friends that want to do the same the $18 package could be split because there is a lot of seed in it. Also found some people who go out and collect seeds and sell them on ETSY.
