USDA records 72 of these 294 plants as native in fewer than half of New Hampshire’s counties. The map on each card shows where. A county with no record may never have been surveyed for that plant, so look at the counties around yours too, or use the county checker for an address-level answer.
New Hampshire’s own list regulates 16 plants. None of them is on this page. New Hampshire invasive plants has each one, with the rule cited.

Where this comes from
- Native range
- USDA PLANTS county distribution layer, the same records behind the county checker.
- Sold by nurseries
- USDA PLANTS plant characteristics, Commercial Availability “Routinely Available”. It is a national flag, so a plant here can still be hard to find at a garden centre near you.
- Plant details
- USDA PLANTS: growth habit and duration from the plant profile; shade and wet-soil tolerance, bloom period, mature height and showy flowers, fruit or fall colour from the plant characteristics.
- Left out
- Any plant a state regulates as invasive or noxious, or that GRIIS flags as invasive in the lower 48, even where it is native. So is any species USDA records as both native and introduced in the lower 48, because the form nurseries sell is usually the introduced one.

Questions
What plants are native to New Hampshire?
This page lists the 294 plants that USDA PLANTS records as native to New Hampshire and routinely available from nurseries: 59 trees, 55 shrubs, 82 wildflowers, 83 grasses and sedges, 9 ferns and 6 vines. They are a small part of New Hampshire's native flora, chosen because you can buy them. Each one carries a map of the New Hampshire counties where USDA records it growing wild.
What trees are native to New Hampshire?
This page lists 59 trees native to New Hampshire that nurseries routinely sell. The most widespread include American Beech, American Linden and Balsam Fir, each recorded as native in all 10 New Hampshire counties.
What shrubs are native to New Hampshire?
This page lists 55 shrubs native to New Hampshire that nurseries routinely sell. The most widespread include American Black Elderberry, Beaked Hazelnut and Bristly Dewberry, each recorded as native in all 10 New Hampshire counties.
What wildflowers are native to New Hampshire?
This page lists 82 wildflowers native to New Hampshire that nurseries routinely sell. The most widespread include American Water Horehound, Bigleaf Aster and Black-Eyed Susan, each recorded as native in all 10 New Hampshire counties.
Is my plant native to New Hampshire?
Search this page by common or scientific name. A plant missing from it can still be native to New Hampshire: the page lists only natives that nurseries routinely sell, and it leaves out any plant a state regulates as invasive. For a county-level answer on any plant, enter its name in Ezina's checker. Every answer links the record it came from.
Is a plant native to New Hampshire native everywhere in New Hampshire?
Not necessarily. USDA records nativity county by county, and 72 of the 294 plants on this page are recorded as native in fewer than half of New Hampshire's 10 counties. A county with no record may simply never have been surveyed for that plant, so read each card's map as where the plant is known to grow wild rather than as a boundary.
