Hey yall! Wanted to show you a few of the beautiful natives in my collection that cost me zero dollars! I’m a huge advocate for native planting and making it cost effective because gardening can definitely be a pricey hobby, but seed collecting, splitting spreading plants from roots(in-ground and aerial)/tubers/bulbs/corms, and cuttings is how I have supplied 90% of my native garden. A big bonus that i personally have here is that I am a landscaper/gardener & have access to hundreds of clients’ yards, but this can all be translated to friends & families’ yards and request posts on FB marketplace, the Nextdoor app, etc! & it’s how I started out before landscaping. Plant nerds are (from my experience) very generous and want to share in the love of native gardening and bettering the ecosystem. 🙂
Would love to do deeper dives into individual plants & how to split and transplant them successfully! More free plants!! 👏💚
Also please correct me if any of these are not actually natives. I’m almost positive, but do question the burnt-orange black eyed susan if anyone has any insight 🧐

Great job! Not enough people know how easy it is to grow plants from cutting!
I planted a passiflora incarnata in 2023, didn’t do much and did not show up in 2024 but in 2025 it took over half of the south wall of the house AND started growing through the wall into the garage. I’ve given several shoots away since I only got one seed pod off it before frost.
That goldenrod you have is marvelous. Is it a hybrid?
