Here's some that I use:
BPlant for finding your ecoregion in the North American continent:

Chesapeake Bay Watershed (DC, Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia) Native Plant Finder:
https://www.allianceforthebay.org/native-plant-center/
Native ground covers for the North American Eastern Temperate Forests:

Information on creating soft landings under trees for pollinators:

These two blog posts (also Eastern Temperate Forests) are probably a looser fit for the wiki, but I'll share them here anyway. The first discusses why not to be afraid of "aggressive" plants and how to start experimenting. The second has a list of 20 ground covers:

Oooohhh I'm going to have to add these! Thank you so much!
