Hey all,
I need some help with names of native perennials to add to my Alberta garden.
Thanks

This is my favorite native wildflower website and this is a link to a recommended species list for your area.

They also have a pretty easily searchable database that lets you search by plant type, flower color, flower season, wildlife usefulness, sun, shade, moisture needs, etc.

There is an excellent book you can buy, in alberta on native wildflowers----It's called----Alberta Wayside Wildflowers--printed by lone pine, by Linda Kershaw. Great book, shows lots of colour pictures and gives lots of information on them.
I got one a couple of years ago, as I had no idea what some of the plants were. I find it very interesting, it has pictures of pink Wild Roses on the Cover. Good Luck.
Odd Duck, your link is very interesting too, thanks.
