Planting Suggestions & Tips

• How can you invite birds to your yard?
  Plant a Florida privet or a beauty berry.
• Do you enjoy butterflies?
  Add a larval plant or two to your yard. Try milkweed, cassia or firebush.
• Would you like something very fragrant?
  Plant a fiddlewood or sweet acacia.
• Want shade?
  Live oaks and several other excellent natives grow great in Cape Coral.
• Need low-maintenance plants?
  Come to one of the two large native plant sales held at Rotary Park, held annually in April and July. There will be a large selection of native ground covers, shrubs and trees. Once established, natives require less fertilizers or pesticides & are pretty drought tolerant. (They have to be established to make it through a serious drought)
• Attend a Florida Yards & Neighborhoods Program at Rotary Park
