SELECT PLANTS THAT WILL THRIVE!

Well designed, installed and maintained landscapes
offer years of environmental benefits and beauty.
Design your landscape with your site and soil in mind.
Include a variety of plants: annuals, perennials, shrubs,
trees, turf and ornamental grasses.

• Choose plants suited to the micro climates located throughout your landscape.

• Select species that are tolerant of difficult urban/suburban sites and the wide range of weather conditions your area receives.

• North Carolina natives may be suitable, but many equally beautiful non-native plants will work well and
pose no threat to our native plant populations.

• Balance areas of turf and landscape plantings for practical water use and management.

• Remember that even drought-tolerant plant species need water during the establishment period.

• Year-round planting is possible with careful attention to irrigation needs.
Ask your county extension agent for guidance in your area.

The following informational pages from NCSU may help with plant selection:
