With interest mounting in using wildflowers in urban landscapes, there is a building demand for information for those new to Florida’s native plants.Enter 20 Easy-to-Grow Wildflowers, a new publication from the Florida Wildflower Foundation. The free 24-page magazine features a selection of 20 “tried and true” species that are easy to grow and maintain. And, with interest in supporting our beleaguered bees, butterflies, and wildlife at an all-time high, readers will find that the selected plants excel at providing nectar, pollen, and habitat.
Featured species are Milkweed, False rosemary, Tickseed, Goldenaster, Blanketflower, Verbena, St. John’s wort, Twinflower, Dune sunflower, Blazing star, Spotted beebalm, Silver-leaved aster, Black-eyed Susan, Wild Petunia, Sage, Skullcap, Senna, Rosinweed, Goldenrod, and Aster.
Each species profile includes color photos, a description of the plant and its genus, tips for landscape use and maintenance, and ideal site conditions.
