Water Wise!
Water Wise refers to designing and implementing a landscape that conserves water. The term 'xeriscape' means the same thing. Neither term means gardening with native plants. Neither do they mean NOT using native plants. Using natives species adapted to the natural rainfall regime and soil conditions on a site is a great way to both save water and enjoy our native Florida flora.
The links given here don't focus on natives, but if you stick with the principles and implement them with natives, these links are useful! A native swamp plant planted in dry uplands will either die, or lots of water will be needed to keep it alive! Conversely, a dry site plant placed in a poorly drained area will drown.
Plant the right plant in the right place!
