NATIVE PLANTS and Non-Pest Exotics for Florida Landscapes

Many are native plants, others are non-invasive, non-pest exotics which offer nectar through their flowers to local butterflies and overwintering hummingbirds. Some of the best roses are antique chinas and hardy humidity tolerant teas. Many of the flowering plants have wonderful scent or provide fruit or seeds for local bird habitat.
