Sustainable Planting with Native Species
Leveraging native plant communities creates an adaptable, low‑input landscape that performs well in Indian River's salty conditions, coastal soils, and heat. You specify function first: reinforce dunes with sea oats, create privacy with Simpson's stopper, and enhance entries with dwarf yaupon holly or coontie. Florida natives form the foundation while decreasing care requirements.
Boost habitat value with multi-level pollinator plantings - 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: align site conditions, soil requirements, final size, and weather resistance. Create plant groupings, not individual plants, to establish harmonious multi-level plantings. Select certified, locally sourced stock to protect native gene pools and minimize establishment stress. Apply shredded pine or shell for durability and clean lines.
