As wild areas are lost to development, wildlife depends more and more on homeowners to provide food for them. If you want to attract a variety of wildlife to your yard, the most important thing you must do is to provide food.
Landscaping with plants that are native to your area not only provides better food and cover for native wildlife than do no-native plants, but on average, require less care and resources to maintain.
Native plants attract a greater variety of butterflies, hummingbirds, songbirds and other wildlife than traditional lawns. In fact, the greater the variety of native species included in a landscape, the more likely uncommon or rare species will be attracted to your area.
Native plant species have evolved and adapted to local conditions over thousands of years. They are usually much more tolerant to climatic condition at a given location.
As with all plants newly planted native plants must be watered until they are established. However after they are established native plants require less water because most are adapted to local water conditions.
Native plants are better adapted to natural soil conditions and generally do not require fertilizing. They are more resistant to natural pests and diseases, so do not require pesticides.
