Of the many lists of native plants available online or from a variety of native plant-focused organizations, the dozen listed here are among the best and most useful.  The formats differ and you will need to experiment to find the ones that are most helpful to you.  Nearly all of these lists are for New Hampshire, although some cover all of New England.  If you are aiming to plant only what is native to New Hampshire, you may want to select possible plants here and then look them up on Go Botany to verify their native range.   See the Native Plants page for more information on how to do this.

The first two links are especially useful if your goal is to plant along the shorefront or in a rain garden.  The last three are specialized lists for finding plants particularly good at supporting pollinators and identifying deer resistant plants.  Note that if deer are hungry enough they will eat just about anything!
