What is a Native Plant?
A native plant species is one that occurs naturally in a particular habitat, ecosystem, or region of the United States and its Territories or Possessions, without direct or indirect human actions.
What is a Cultivar?
Cultivars are varieties of plants that are the product of breeding programs to produce specific desirable characteristics (flower color, size,adapatability). Cultivars generate a revenue stream for the grower. Do cultivars breed out the desired characteristics needed by the pollinators? Nobody knows. We believe it is best to stick to native species.
