No plant on this page matches that.
USDA records 169 of these 296 plants as native in fewer than half of Oregon’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.
Oregon’s own list regulates 126 plants. None of them is on this page. Oregon noxious weeds 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 Oregon?
This page lists the 296 plants that USDA PLANTS records as native to Oregon and routinely available from nurseries: 41 trees, 67 shrubs, 88 wildflowers, 94 grasses and sedges, 3 ferns and 3 vines. They are a small part of Oregon's native flora, chosen because you can buy them. Each one carries a map of the Oregon counties where USDA records it growing wild.
What trees are native to Oregon?
This page lists 41 trees native to Oregon that nurseries routinely sell. The most widespread include Balsam Poplar, Black Cottonwood and Black Cottonwood, each recorded as native in at least 32 of Oregon's 36 counties.
What shrubs are native to Oregon?
This page lists 67 shrubs native to Oregon that nurseries routinely sell. The most widespread include Western Service Berry, Red Osier Dogwood and Red-Barked Dogwood, each recorded as native in at least 35 of Oregon's 36 counties.
What wildflowers are native to Oregon?
This page lists 88 wildflowers native to Oregon that nurseries routinely sell. The most widespread include Cinquefoil, Common Cowparsnip and Seep Monkeyflower, each recorded as native in at least 34 of Oregon's 36 counties.
Is my plant native to Oregon?
Search this page by common or scientific name. A plant missing from it can still be native to Oregon: 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 Oregon native everywhere in Oregon?
Not necessarily. USDA records nativity county by county, and 169 of the 296 plants on this page are recorded as native in fewer than half of Oregon's 36 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.
