Why native plants?

According to the The National Audubon Society:

Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.

Extremely s-tier, amazingly easy to maintain. They spread by rhizomes so if you plant a few in an area and a couple of years the whole thing will be full of strikingly tall plants. They're very resistant to all kinds of bullshit. They can be a really cool anchor plant for native garden sections adding a lot of height to boundaries or borders. They're pretty showy and have lots of nice yellow flowers. Lots of insects like them. Some birds will eat the seeds when the season is over. Reseeds extremely easily. Could probably use for soil retention. Many different kinds so you can find something that fits your need. Lots of reasons to like this plant.
