Why are native plants your best choice?
Most native insects are picky eaters — monarch caterpillars, for example, can only survive on milkweed. Without the plants they depend on, these species go extinct quickly. But the good news is we can help right at home. By adding native plants to our yards, we create real habitat for local wildlife. Plus, native plants are naturally drought-tolerant and perfectly adapted to Utah’s climate, making them easier to grow and better for the environment.
