Native Plants and Sustainable Planting
Incorporating native plant communities provides a durable, low‑input landscape that thrives in Indian River's maritime climate, coastal soils, and heat. You choose function first: protect dunes with sea oats, establish boundaries with Simpson's stopper, and accent entries with coontie or dwarf yaupon holly. Florida natives create the backbone while lowering fertilizer and pruning requirements.
Improve habitat benefits with multi-level pollinator plantings - butterfly weed, gaillardia, and powderpuff for nectar and larval resources; firebush and coral honeysuckle for continuous flowering cycles. Appropriate species selection is crucial: align salt tolerance, soil pH, mature spread, and wind exposure. Use plant communities, not single species, to create canopy, understory, and groundcover synergy. Specify locally grown, verified specimens to preserve regional genetics and reduce transplant shock. Mulch with natural pine mulch or seashell for longevity and neat appearance.
