Native Plants and Sustainable Planting
Utilizing native plant communities delivers a resilient, low‑input landscape that performs well in Indian River's salty conditions, coastal soils, and hot weather. You choose function first: secure dunes with sea oats, establish boundaries with Simpson's stopper, and accent entries with dwarf yaupon holly or coontie. Florida natives establish the framework while decreasing maintenance needs.
Enhance habitat value with layered pollinator gardens - milkweed, blanketflower, and sunshine mimosa for butterfly and bee sustenance; native fire plant and trumpet honeysuckle for year-round blooming. Right‑plant, right‑place is nonnegotiable: match site conditions, soil requirements, final size, and weather resistance. Create plant groupings, not isolated specimens, to create balanced vertical layering. Specify locally grown, verified specimens to maintain local biodiversity and ensure successful establishment. Layer pine straw or crushed shell for durability and clean lines.
Water-Saving Irrigation Solutions
