Native Plant Height
Create Layered Environments
Native plants vary widely in height, from low-growing ground covers to tall prairie grasses, each fulfilling different ecological roles. Low-growing plants, typically under a foot tall, include ground covers and small wildflowers, which help control erosion and create dense habitat layers. Medium-height plants, ranging from one to several feet, often include grasses, wildflowers, and shrubs that provide food and cover for pollinators and small wildlife. Tall native plants, like large shrubs and trees, create structural diversity, shade, and nesting sites essential for wildlife.
