How do I even find this out?
When I ask the search engine about native plants in the nearest metropoly, closest I get is someone selling seed packs, without any clear scientific basis for their being native.

There are also plant/seed vendors who can tell you about what they sell that's native where you live. Like this (scroll down to see map!):

I was surprised we have this, so you might as well. I only discovered it because I volunteer to help restore public spaces and had the good fortune of meeting the city’s team on one occasion. They’re awesome. I wish I’d known sooner. It’s an incredible resource to have.
