Wild Ones Pontchartrain Basin Chapter provides this list alphabetically, as a community service and for information only. No business is recommended. WOPB recommends that consumers do their own research prior to purchasing native plant materials. WOPB does recommend prioritizing locally sourced native species as they provide the greatest ecological services to local wildlife. Identify species by their scientific name. If plants tags include additional names in parentheses, they are likely nativars or cultivars.
