Native Plants for Ornamental Landscapes
Does your home or business have an ornamental landscape? Maybe you don't want to replace it, but you do want to add natives. If you match the species with the site conditions, almost any native plant that we grow can be incorporated into a conventional landscape with good results. However, some plants are more visually appropriate to a habitat garden or restoration. Others have narrow habitat requirements, so that it would be difficult to find a good location to install them. This page provides a list of those species that are most visually compatible with a conventional landscape, and are generally more flexible in their habitat requirements.
