Native Plants for Florida Gardens

Florida is home to an extraordinary diversity of native plants—species that evolved to thrive in its varied climates, soils, and seasons.

Native Plants for Florida Gardens profiles 100 Florida native wildflowers, shrubs, vines, and trees that can transform conventional landscapes into vibrant, resilient gardens. With striking color photography highlighting plant forms and flowering characteristics, this guide makes it easy to identify and select plants that are both beautiful and well-suited to Florida conditions.

Developed with expertise from the Florida Wildlife Foundation, the book emphasizes plants that are low-maintenance, disease-resistant, and tolerant of Florida’s toughest conditions, while also supporting birds, pollinators, and other wildlife. Practical and approachable, it empowers gardeners of all experience levels to create landscapes that work with Florida’s environment—not against it.

Perfect for: Florida gardeners, native plant beginners, wildlife-friendly landscapers, pollinator advocates, and anyone looking to build a healthier, more sustainable Florida yard.
