DO-IT-YOURSELF NATIVE PERENNIAL GARDEN

Native plants are those that originated in a specific place. They are adapted to the soil and weather conditions and they are the foundation of local ecosystems. By incorporating native plants into your landscape, you’ll be successful while benefiting wildlife and your community. Native plants have evolved and adapted to local conditions. They are vigorous and hardy, so they can survive winter cold and summer heat. Once established, they require little care. Natives are a cornerstone of biological diversity. They provide food and shelter for native wild animals such as birds, butterflies and other wildlife. Their root systems help rainfall percolate into the soil, reducing erosion and runoff. They help divert water from storm drains and descrease the impact of runoff to rivers and streams and the Chesapeake Bay.

Here’s what you need:

A. Rudbeckia (Black-Eyed Susan)
B. Goldenrod
C. Coreopsis (Tickseed)
D. Gaillardia (Blanket Flower)
E. Perennial Hibiscus
F. Echinacea (Coneflowers)
