In today’s South, where fine gardening is a tradition, many homeowners and professional gardeners are discovering a vast “new” palette of plant materials—native plants. They are realizing that these native wildflowers, trees, shrubs, groundcovers, vines, and grasses are far better suited, and therefore easier to grow and maintain, than most of the imported plants that populate traditional landscapes. In this book, the authors offer an exciting vision of the many possibilities and advantages of “going native.” Lavishly illustrated with more than 250 gorgeous color photographs, this book is both an introduction to more than 200 of the most familiar and easiest-to-find native plants of the South and a basic primer on how to use them effectively.

Excerpt from Gardening in the South IS book owes its being to the fact that up to the present time literature dealing with the planting of home grounds in the middle and upper South has not been obtainable. Nothing specific has been written to help the Southern home owner solve the problems connected with the planting and maintenance of beautiful grounds. It is true that a book on gardening appeared which dealt entirely with plants and conditions encountered along the Southern coastal country and the State of Florida, this section having an almost entirely different flora from the middle and upper South.
