Native Plant Directory

This is a directory of native plant materials maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Reforestation, Nurseries and Genetics Resources (RNGR) team. Beginning this year, representatives from the University of Georgia, Southern Regional Extension Forestry (SREF) will contact everyone on the list to verify information. Te database is also available and searchable on the RNGR website (http://www.rngr.net), which also holds a vast amount of information about growing native plants.One of the most important differences between native plant materials and ornamental nursery stock is that natives are usually outplanted in relatively harsh environments generally without any subsequent care. Here are a few other things to keep in mind.
