Why are native plants important to a pollinate?

Answer 1

There are a few reasons why one should choose a native plant over a foreign one.

1. A native plant will be better adapted to the local conditions, whereas a foreign one may not, unless the area it is from has a similar geography and climate.

2. Poorly understood foreign plants may turn out to be a nuisance later on. Kudzu, for instance, was originally introduced to America to help stop soil erosion. Unfortunately, kudzu spreads rapidly, and began encroaching far beyond where they were intended. Kudzu is almost impossible to get rid of, both due to its extensive root system and its lack of diseases or predators in the US. 3. A foreign plant with a similar ancestry to a native one may intermingle genes. The native species will technically become extinct, because all individuals will be indistinguishable from the introduced one.

Answer 2

A native plant is simply any species that is indigenous to your county or state. In the wild it is part of the traditional plant communities of your area. For example, if you live in the deep south, the bald cypress is a native tree. Some native plants are suitable for gardens and offer beautiful flowers such as the purple coneflower of the prairie states, so these have long been garden perennials. Here's why:

Super adapted. Natives are naturally adapted to the local climate, so they don't need much from you once they're established in the garden. This is a vital point in drought stricken communities where natives offer beautiful plants that ask for little to know supplemental water.

Plant to animal links. Wildlife recognizes native plants because they are naturally adapted to one another. Birds, bees and butterflies go to native flowers first because they're programmed by eons of natural selection to do so.

Non-threatening. Many exotic garden plants are proving a problem when they escape from gardens to invade and distort wild plant communities. Native plants never pose a problem if they escape because they already belong.

Answer 3

Because the native plants grow best in their native place, which is whereever you are. Also, planting native plants is good for the earth and economy itself, since the soil is not used to unusual plants, and native plants are grown in your native country.

Answer 4

Planting native plants helps to restore natural habitats and food for many different species. With this comes a jump in animal populations and relationships that allow more animals to live the ecosystem.

Answer 5

to preserve the local ecosystem and natural beauty to the place and your helping the earth!

Answer 6
