June in an Oklahoma native garden
June is one of Oklahoma's busiest bloom months, with 133 of the state's 247 native plants flowering (the peak is May).
23 start blooming in June, including American bellflower, Black-eyed Susan and Blue vervain. 54 finish in June, including Allegheny chinquapin, American bittersweet and American bladdernut, so this is the last chance to see them in flower.
96 of them grow in full or partial sun and 64 tolerate shade, so there are options for open beds and woodland edges alike. Sizes run from low plants like Birdfoot violet and Black-eyed Susan to trees such as Allegheny chinquapin and American basswood. For wildlife, 112 support pollinators, 73 provide food or cover for birds and 44 are caterpillar host plants.
106 of the 133 have a seed or plant listing we verified as the wild species. Be careful buying Apache plume, Black-eyed Susan, Common yarrow: common listings for these are often a bred variety or a different species.
Good places to start
Verified wild-species listings that take sun and are widely native, so they are forgiving first plants.
