In the Southeastern region, native trees typically flower before the foliage fully emerges bringing welcome color in spring just when it’s most needed.
We define native plants as plants that occur naturally within a given location or region without human intervention.
Southeastern native plants are adapted to our climate and soil conditions, so they typically thrive without a lot of care when planted in the right location. They don’t require fertilizers or pesticides and need less supplemental water than many non-native plants.
Large shrubs and trees at least six feet tall can make effective visual screens on your property. Although a wall may block noise and wind better, a screen of living plants is usually a less costly and lower-maintenance option for limiting a view into your property or blocking objects within or outside your property.
For gardeners in many parts of the country, fall is a great time to plant just about anything. Except in the coldest regions, fall can provide most perennials, shrubs and trees with enough time to become established in their new home before experiencing extreme heat, cold or drought.
