Most native species are perennials, so they will come up year after year,
unlike the petunias or impatiens you buy at the home center.

Most native plants are not wind-pollinated, so they are not contributing to allergic suffering. Native plantings do NOT look like weeds! A thoughtful design that incorporates native plants will beautify your landscape and make it more ecologically responsible.
