\"Landscaping<\/a><\/p>\n

With hot and humid summers and bone chillingly cold winters, landscaping in the Midwest can be tricky. However, by using plants that are native to the region, you can ensure that your landscape will always look beautiful.<\/p>\n

Landscaping with Native Midwest Plants<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s a look at some of most durable native Midwest plants that can withstand the intense climate, require minimal care, and will make your landscape look incredible.<\/p>\n

Purple Coneflower<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This plant features eye-catching blooms of purple petals with an orangey-colored cone in the center. They are a perennial, so they\u2019ll come back year after year, and since they\u2019re drought tolerant, they require minimal upkeep. They bloom in the summer and attract bees and butterflies, so they\u2019ll make your garden buzz with activity.<\/p>\n

Orange Milkweed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This native mid-western plant boasts brilliantly colored blossoms of reddish-orange. The flowers are dainty and grow in clumps, creating a delicate, yet bold statement. Orange milkweed blooms in the early summer and its foliage will remain green until fall\u2019s first frost. They require minimal maintenance, so you don\u2019t have to worry about constant upkeep. Plus, they are beloved by hummingbirds and butterflies; in fact, monarch butterflies lay their eggs on these plants, so not only will this plant beautify your landscape, but it will also help monarchs flourish.<\/p>\n

Prairie Dropseed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This ornamental grass is drought tolerant and can withstand the high temperatures and hot sun in the Midwest summer. It has a fine texture and grows in lush green clumps. It\u2019s a wonderful edging plant and creates a safe haven for birds and other wildlife.<\/p>\n

Black-Eyed Susan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The bright yellow petals and dark brown cone-like center of the Black-Eyed Susan is breathtaking. They grow native in all parts of the Midwest and do well in the high sun.
