Native Plants of the South for Gardening - Best Southern Wildflowers & Perennials for Eco-Friendly Landscaping | Perfect for Backyard Gardens, Pollinator Habitats & Drought-Resistant Yards

As a master gardener, living in South Carolina in the Charlotte metropolitan region, I find "Gardening with Native Plants of the South" a very readable and helpful book. Many books and articles about native plants focus more of the macro issues: Dangers of invasive plants, effects on birdlife, etc. This book focuses more on the plants themselves. I found it especially helpful that plants are grouped according to use (e.g. "Evergreen Trees Over 50 Feet Tall," "Tall Shrubs 10 to 15 Feet Tall," etc.)Each tree, shrub or vine is illustrated by a color photo and a description of unique features, plus details on where it is likely to thrive. Finally, Sally W. shares personal insights about why she loves a certain tree, etc. Lots of info conveyed in useful but personable format
