Find the right native plants
Start with current, authoritative sources for plant selection, identification, and local horticultural guidance:
- Florida Native Plant Society plant database
- Florida Wildflower Foundation plant profiles
- FNPS membership and chapter information
- Escambia County UF/IFAS Extension
- Santa Rosa County UF/IFAS Extension
- Okaloosa County UF/IFAS Extension
Choosing plants responsibly
Match plants to the light, soil moisture, space, and conditions at your site. Choose species native to your part of Florida, purchase from reputable native-plant sources, and never collect plants without the landowner’s permission and any required permits.
Contact the chapter at fnps.longleaf.pine@gmail.com with questions about local resources.
