New Brunswick Native Plants

New Brunswick’s Acadian forests support sugar maple, yellow birch, and red spruce, creating a rich canopy for spring ephemerals like trout lily and trillium. Coastal areas are home to seaside goldenrod and beach pea, adapted to sandy, salt-laden soils. Wetlands and river valleys nurture blue flag iris, Joe-pye weed, and cardinal flower. In late summer, meadows come alive with asters and goldenrod buzzing with pollinators.
