Starting a Florida wildflower garden?

Planning for success

• For sunny gardens, choose a site that gets four or more hours of sun.
• For shady gardens, select a site with light daily or afternoon shade.
• Choose plants correct for your site’s conditions (wet, dry, shade, sun, etc.) and climate zone.
• Consult a native nursery to choose plants that bloom in different seasons.
• Use native grasses or groundcovers to fill space and add interest.
• Perform seasonal upkeep to remove weeds and debris.
• Let seeds dry and set naturally to produce  plants next year.
