Oklahoma Native Plants

Download or read book Oklahoma Native Plants written by Connie Scothorn and published by Roadrunner Press. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oklahoma contains ten distinct ecological regions and five planting zones, so it should come as no surprise that it is home to its own unique repertoire of native plants. In this long awaited Oklahoma-specific gardening book, Oklahoma landscape architects Connie Scothorn and Brian Patric provide a conversational look at how to choose, plant, and care for the native forbs and grasses that pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and birds, so desperately need to thrive. The book includes the latest planting zone maps for both Oklahoma and the United States, a Q&A and glossary, common and scientific plant names, resources such as where to go to see native plants in ornamental settings, and lots of color photography of the plants themselves.
