Native shrubs are a wonderful way to add interest to a garden or yard. They add texture, color, and dimension. They do well on their own along walkways, can help separate a patio space from the rest of your yard, and add significant curb appeal to the value of your home.
Preserve your local habitat by shopping for native shrubs for sale at Perfect Plants.
Native shrubs are any plant that occurs naturally in an ecosystem. If a naturally occurring shrub is planted, it will have a greater chance of thriving, as these plants are known to grow in the area without human interaction. Plants that are added by humans are not native and will need some help to get started.
Native shrubs don’t need as much care as imported varieties. This means that they are resistant to disease, weeds, and pests in your area. You can usually forgo fertilizers and pesticides. Native plants require less maintenance than lawns or exotic plants. They also cut down on the amount of area that needs to be mowed, thereby reducing the use of fossil fuels that pollute the environment.
Native plants are adapted to your local weather. They will survive harsh winters and summers without any interference from humans. Native plants tend to be more drought tolerant and don’t need excessive watering. This translates to saving money on your water bill.
Native shrubs can prevent erosion in problem areas along walls, terraced landscapes, and embankments. Native shrubs establish easily and provide excellent shelter for local wildlife. The various habitats provided by native shrubs create and support biodiversity. This, in turn, preserves the natural heritage of indigenous animals and plants.
