I'd echo this sentiment. Also please keep in mind that what is native can change over very small distances. If you were to look up what is native only based on state/country, that is almost certainly way too large a net to be casting. Florists often use 5km-wide grids to map biodiversity, in my location (Netherlands) this even goes down to 1km.

If you want to have a feel for what is native in your local area go to observation.org (or your local version of it, e.g. NL has waarneming.nl), then go to Explore -> Surroundings. Or contact a local floristic organization in you area.

Appreciate the detailed info. Did you watch the video? They did address native plant species.

I did. It just offloads people to Google, which IMHO has a tendency of returning just a random blog filled with falsehoods that just happens to be good at SEO.

Not a fan of Google, the video is on YouTube which they own, but I’m not sure what falsehoods you’re referring to at this point. Thanks, though
