Native Plant Selection

Benefits of Native Plants

Native plants offer numerous advantages for your landscape and the environment.

Water Conservation

Native plants are adapted to local rainfall patterns, requiring significantly less irrigation once established compared to non-native species.

Low Maintenance

Naturally resistant to local pests and diseases, native plants need fewer chemical inputs and less ongoing care than exotic species.

Wildlife Support

Native plants provide essential food and habitat for local birds, butterflies, bees, and other beneficial wildlife species.

Choosing the right native plants requires understanding your site conditions, aesthetic goals, and maintenance preferences. At glowhandmadeglow, we evaluate your property's soil, sunlight, moisture levels, and existing ecosystem to recommend native plants that will thrive.

Plant Categories

We help you select from various native plant types to create diverse, functional landscapes.

Native Perennials

Long-lived flowering plants that return year after year, providing seasonal color and supporting pollinators throughout growing seasons.

Native Shrubs

Woody plants that provide structure, screening, and habitat. Many produce berries that feed birds and other wildlife.

Native Grasses

Ornamental grasses add texture and movement while providing seeds for birds and nesting materials for wildlife.

Native Groundcovers

Low-growing plants that suppress weeds, prevent erosion, and create attractive alternatives to traditional lawns.

Site Considerations

Successful native plant selection depends on matching plants to your specific site conditions.

Sunlight

We assess sun exposure throughout the day and seasons to recommend plants suited to full sun, partial shade, or full shade conditions.

Moisture

Understanding drainage patterns and soil moisture helps us select plants that thrive in wet, dry, or average moisture conditions.

Soil Type

Soil testing reveals pH and texture, allowing us to match plants to clay, sand, loam, or rocky soil conditions.

Design Principles

Creating beautiful native plant landscapes requires thoughtful design and planning.

Color Schemes

Plan for continuous blooms throughout seasons with coordinated color palettes that enhance your property's aesthetic appeal.

Layering

Create depth and interest by combining plants of varying heights, from groundcovers to tall perennials and shrubs.
