Plant lists
What each state's own list says
Extension services, botanical gardens and conservation agencies publish deer, water-wise and native plant lists for a state or a part of one. These pages read those lists and nothing else.

What we hold, state by state
Plants named by a list held for that state. A dash means we hold no such list, or too few plants from one to be worth reading; it is never a statement about the plants. States not in this table have no yard listed here and no sourced row.
