Kansas Native Plants

Kansas Native Plant Society - The Kansas Native Plant Society (KNPS) educates the public about the indigenous plants of Kansas - wildflowers, grasses, trees and others - found in our prairies, woodlands, wetlands, and gardens. Through a number of programs, events, and resources, the society offers help to anyone interested in creating a small garden or landscape using the native plants of Kansas.

Each individual page includes photos of the plants as well as detailed information, such as sun and water requirements, to help you grow the plant successfully in your own xeriscaping project.

Kansas Wildflowers & Grasses - This site contains information and more than 2600 photos to help with the identification of around 540 species of forbs, grasses, sedges, rushes, and woody plants that are found growing in Kansas.
