Have you ever wondered what makes a plant a Florida native? The answer: a plant is considered native when it was documented to exist in Florida before European contact.
These time-honored plants have some special benefits:
💪Native plants will thrive in our sandy soil, still growing nice and strong.
💧They require less water and less fertilizer once established.
🐝Using these plants in your garden will increase the biodiversity and support of native pollinators.
🏠Planting Florida natives in your garden helps create a habitat and food for wildlife!
Our post shows some of the native plants that are thriving in our Homegrown National Park®.
