Native plants, state by state
49 state pages list the native plants USDA PLANTS marks as routinely sold by nurseries, 14,590 listings in all, each mapped county by county.
A state list tells you what grows wild somewhere in the state, not in your yard. Nativity is recorded by county, so every plant carries its county map, and the county checker answers for a specific address.

Connecticut. USDA keeps no county records for Connecticut’s planning regions, and its state-wide record does not separate plants native to Connecticut from plants that are both native and introduced there. Until one of those changes, a Connecticut list would name plants that are not native to it.
The county checker still answers there for any single plant, and says when its answer is state-wide rather than county-level.
Questions
How are these lists made?
From USDA PLANTS. A plant is listed for a state when USDA records it as native in at least one of the state's counties and marks it as routinely available from commercial nurseries. Any plant a state regulates as invasive is left out, even where it is native.
Which state has the most native plants on its list?
New York, with 417, followed by Pennsylvania (389) and Virginia (388). Hawaii has the fewest, at 16. The counts follow USDA's nursery records rather than the size of each state's flora.
Why is there no page for Connecticut?
USDA keeps no county records for Connecticut’s planning regions, and its state-wide record does not separate plants native to Connecticut from plants that are both native and introduced there. Until one of those changes, a Connecticut list would name plants that are not native to it.
