Native Florida Plants for Shady Landscapes

Beautifully done. Thoughtful soil considerations and, best of all, excellent photos with descriptions as well as growing needs of each plant. The photos and the words are on the same page.Photos by the author.My only wish is that the Florida area, or zone, were at the top of each description. Tropical? Subtropical? Transition to temperate?

Loved the information in this book. Having 3 other Florida native plant books for home landscaping, I wasn't sure if this was just going to be the same information rephrased - which is NOT the case. It's been a really helpful guide for planning out the woodsy area on the property that we just cleared of Brazilian peppers. Having the shade tolerant native plant species grouped in one resource is immensely helpful when sitting down to plan out the landscape. In addition to highlighting native plants for shade I've never noticed (really excited to learn about the native Rhododendrons), it also gives good information on getting plants established in shade while minimally damaging existing root structures and other landscaping advice. Definitely recommend!

Everyone considering having a native garden should get this. There is always room for one more plant and this book will help you make that decision for your shady spots! Relates to the everyday person and gives great options!

Good book concentrating on north and mid Florida with some south Florida discussion. Informative.

Dr. Huegel has done it again! What a great book. Beautiful photos of the plants, good explanations of where and how they grow---which is especially important for those of us in Sub-tropical Southern Florida! Can't wait to add several of these lovely plants to my extended garden. And who knew that Jack-in-the-Pulpits can grown in Broward County! Awesome!
