NativePlants

A Florida native plant occurred here before European settlement and is adapted to local soils, rainfall, heat, and wildlife relationships.

Most native plants need regular water during establishment, then far less supplemental irrigation once roots are established in the right site.

Native plants are often Florida-Friendly, but the right plant still needs the right place, light, drainage, and mature spacing.

Fall and early winter are ideal in St. Augustine so roots establish before summer heat, though container-grown natives can go in year round with establishment water.

Match each native to your light, soil, and moisture, then group plants with similar needs. Bring photos of your space and our team can help you build a Florida-Friendly plan.
