Why Use Native Plants For Landscaping?
Native plants are grown from their wild relatives; their color, size, nectar, pollen production, and everything about them are authentic and have not been changed except by natural evolution. The benefits of native plants compared to hybrid and otherwise man cultivated species include a longer life span, less need for fertilizer and insecticides, increased aroma, drought resistant (due to the very deep roots), easy to overwinter, generally disease free and the native birds, butterflies and bees love them.
