native wildflowers
Local uncultivated blossoms
Native wildflowers are flowering plants that grow naturally in a particular region without human introduction.
The term distinguishes species that evolved in an area from ornamental or invasive imports.
Gardeners and conservationists favor native wildflowers for supporting local pollinators and requiring less water: We planted native wildflowers to attract butterflies.
