June in a Hawaii native garden
June is Hawaii's peak bloom month: 22 of the state's 30 native plants in this directory flower in June, more than in any other month.
15 of them grow in full or partial sun and 1 tolerate shade, so there are options for open beds and woodland edges alike. Sizes run from low plants like Nehe and ʻIlieʻe to trees such as Florida hopbush and Koa. For wildlife, 8 support pollinators and 3 provide food or cover for birds.
2 of the 22 have a seed or plant listing we verified as the wild species.
