Top 10 Natives. These are the most attractive and practical native plants for the home landscape. Consider them the ‘Bones’ of the garden that add dependable, low maintenance structure. These plants usually require no pesticides, fertilizer or water once they are established. Prune out any dead wood and an annual layering of leaves, wood chips or bark mulches to keep out the weeds. Use more natives and drought tolerant Florida Friendly Plants and use less turf area and the benefit will be much lower costs for water and chemicals and a better environment for everyone.
