This native wildflower grows no more than 5 inches high, and makes a nice mound of pretty foliage with creamy white flowers in the spring.

Hedychium coronarium

White ginger perennial wildflower are not necessarily native flowers. However, white ginger wildflower seeds are so much better for the environment than many other choices. Choose native wildflowers wherever possible.

These white flowering plants offer a rich scent in late summer-- all the way through fall.

Hedichium is hardy to zone 7. There are native wild ginger varieties for colder climates, too. Those types will usually bloom in spring.

All of these white wildflowers like to be mulched well. This is because they are forest-floor native flowers. Mulch will not hard the wildflower seeds.

Wildflower Seeds for White Native Flowers

Achillea millefolium

Yarrow is one of the best choices in wildflower seeds for beginning gardeners. It grows very well in hot, sunny, dry locations.

These white native wildflowers will spread fairly well on their own without intervention.

It is rather difficult to divide Yarrow wildflowers once they have grown in to full white flowering plants. Planting from wildflower seed is the best way to fill a garden with white Yarrow.

Most native flowers will eagerly spread throughout the garden with little intervention or help. White Yarrow wildflowers are favorites of butterflies, who need the flat tops of the white blooming plants to land on. Butterflies need flat flowers for nectar sources, so they can stand still while sipping nectar.

Aster ptarmicoides

Native wildflowers in the aster family are true garden favorites.

These aster flower seeds will grow into white flowering plants. While asters come in all colors, some aster seeds are not native wildflowers. It helps to check the species name, or click through an informational article like this to be sure that you are purchasing native wildflowers and not alien invasive plants.

Most native wildflowers are sold as wildflower seeds. That is okay, though, because these native wildflowers grow quickly and thrive when planted from seed.

If an established plant seems like a better choice, Stokes' Aster is a good option. Any close-to-native wildflower is better than many of the other invasive plants that are often available in garden stores.

Wildflower Seeds for White Native Flowers

Tradescantia ohiensis alba

Spiderwort is one of the easiest plants to grow. it grows no more than 2 ft. high, and usually remains int he 12 inch range.

This white native flower wil thrive in sunny spots, with no additional watering needs. In drier climates, it may need a little water form time to time.

I have grown spiderwort wildflowers and wildflower seeds in partial shade with good results. Personally, I like the way native plants stand up to all kinds of weather and conditions. I also like the way white native wildflowers spread vigorously.

One caution: do not over water white native flowers. This will lead to rotting. Most native flowers prefer to dry out completely between waterings. Also, do not plant spiderwort in boggy locations.

Wildflower Seeds for White Native Flowers

Penstemon tubaeflorus

Penstemon has long been a garden favorite.

The cultivars of these white native flowers have been altered a great deal from their original appearance.

Take note of the height of this white wildflower before you plant it.

Native wildflowers tend to grow quite tall. Wildflower seeds do best in a full sun wide-open space, or small patches of mixed height palntings.

One excellent quality that White Penstemon has is that it has a very similar appearance to several potentially invasive plants.

It is easy to put Penstemon's white blooming plants or wildflower seeds in the garden to replace a whole range of invasive plants.

Remember, native flowers and native wildflowers are always a better choice for the environment.
