Planting & care

Growing native plants starts with getting to know your space. You don’t have to change everything at once.

Start with the conditions you have

Notice how much direct sunlight the planting area receives, whether the soil stays damp or dries quickly, and how much room a mature plant will have. Compare those conditions with the individual plant guides before choosing.

Give each plant a good start

Use the guide for your particular plant for planting and establishment instructions. Watering and maintenance needs vary with the plant, the site, and the weather.
