Quick answer: Native plants can be valuable choices when they match the exact site conditions, but 'native' does not automatically mean zero maintenance or suitable for every yard.
Use site conditions first
Sun, drainage, irrigation and mature size should still guide selection.
Mix native and adapted plants thoughtfully
A landscape can use native species alongside well-behaved Florida-adapted plants.
Avoid overplanting
Even low-maintenance plants create work if installed too densely.
Think about wildlife and appearance
Some homeowners value pollinator or wildlife benefits while still wanting a structured residential look.
