- Looking for Florida Native Plants Landscaping inspiration? Join me as we look at what happened after 8 weeks from taking a Small Florida Garden from BLAH to NATIVE!
In this series, I'm going to walk you through how I'm going from an invasive garden to a Florida Native Plants that attract butterflies, have Florida Native edible plants, shade tolerant, and draught tolerant!
In this video, I'm going to walk through the Florida Gardening strategy and plan. In the episodes that follow, each Sunday, I will cover one of the plants! I hope you enjoy, as I take this space from BLAH to NATIVE!

Because of you, I have slowly but steadily been adding Native plants to my yard. I'm looking forward to more than the few daily visitor butterflies that visit here daily.
Your enthusiasm is contagious! You've convinced me to pull out my snake plants. Now decisions, decisions on what to put in....
OMG! I’m so happy you have been converted to removing them 🤣 What fun to pick the new plants 😄 Best wishes on your gardening adventures
The series was fun and the 8-week follow-up was SO beneficial! I love seeing a before and after and I love seeing how all the plants look in a bed together as they mature!
I am so glad you liked it Karen! Thank you for watching the series and I look forward letting see it again in a few months! 😄
I guess I am quite off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch new series online?
Love your energy. Beautiful landscape.
Thank you Lauren! And thank you for your support through the whole series 🥰
Your house color is a nice backdrop for your plants. No worries. We'll be painting our house a grey and with a trellis or two, the initial focus really will be the landscape.
Love your enthusiasm! The one plant I could identify in the yard of my new Florida home was Beautyberry.... all because of watching your videos!
Thank you so much Rebecca! How exciting to have a Beautyberry already! I hope you find more wonderful plants in your yard... and you’ll find the more you add... the more you will receive! I just got a native corky stem passion vine from wildlife 🥰
Florida is amazing 🌴
I love Florida, too!
Love love love it! Your phase one inspired my phase two along with the garden beds I just put in. You’re are great inspiration. Will stay tuned for your phase two. Vines, how interesting. Blessings from Central Florida.
I’m so excited for you Rhea! I’m so happy your have done your own phase two! Thank you so much for watching and all the blessings! 🥰
I am so happy I stumbled on to your content. I am a bit north of you in Spring Hill, but my yard needs MAJOR help. This stuff is going to help me a lot. Keep it up.
Thanks Christopher! And howdy neighbor! I’m glad this helped!
Hey, I love your video and your excitement to provide nature with a comfortable home in your yard. You've done fantastic with your garden transformation and are so open to learning new things and accepting what you knew was wrong. I have a suggestion to transforming your white sage to the red variety. You could hand pollinate the red variety with your white variety. When the seeds fall to the ground some should grow to produce pink flowers. If you pollinate them with the red variety again, the next generation should produce some that will have red flowers. 😁 Happy Florida gardening.
Happy to have found your account! For a couple years I’ve been turning my backyard in Pinellas county into a wildlife habitat. It’s amazing what you can do with a little bit of space. Some of the most rewarding sites for me has been seeing hummingbirds in my firebush and catching a cuckoo eating caterpillars from my pipeline! So rewarding and fun to watch :)
Hi neighbor! I’m happy you found the channel! That is amazing that you are making your garden into a wildlife habitat! I can’t wait to get hummingbirds 😄 Happy Gardening!
@@WildFloridianhave you gotten the hummingbirds yet?
Thanks!
My husband and I have been ripping up all of the grass in our front yard to replace with a native heavy flower garden in South Florida! I bought 2 milkweed plants this spring and became hooked on butterfly gardening. I am so grateful for your videos because I have a bunch of space to fill, and I am currently trying to sew a bunch of native flower seeds. (with varying success haha) I have a small mango tree in the front yard and was wondering if there are any cool shade tolerant flower/tropical plants I should consider for that space.
I am researching gardening in Florida for my move from Brooklyn NY to I verness Florida. Thank you for your videos. Love them
What a success! Looks great!
Thanks so much!
Just found your channel I'm in Citrus County zone 9a.. moved here from northern New Hampshire 3 yrs ago. Loved this series on Florida Native plants I do have 2 sections that I'm looking to transform & you've giving me some great ideas. Thank You for doing and sharing your knowledge.. Have a great day :)
I’m so happy you enjoyed the series! 😄 Happy Holidays! 🎄
I like your videos, but the music is too "invasive" I can't hear you, too loud and distracting music.
Thank you! And on no... I will work on the sound balancing. Thanks for letting me know. We are always against "invasive" things LOL
I'm in Bayonet Point Heights Florida. I want my yard to be like yours
I love the series. Give me more
🥰 I'm so happy you are enjoying!
@@WildFloridian My plan was to build a Japanese inspired garden. I have now scrapped the idea and am replacing it as bird and butterfly friendly Florida friendly habitat.
I am new to Florida gardening and have loved your videos, I completely reworked the garden that was here before I moved in (it was overgrown, unattractive and had inappropriate shrubs for the space. I have put in some native plants an am now going to remove another section of shrubs lose to the house to do exactly what you did in about the same size plot. Thank You
Welcome to Florida Debbie! I am so happy you have enjoyed my videos. It sounds like you have done a lot so far! I’m so excited that you added natives too! And you are going to mimic my project! 🥰 I wish you happy gardening and your garden is even better than mine 😄
Wild Floridian yes I just purchase some milkweed and buttercups! I understand the butterflies have not really begun their migration and I can look forward to
More in a couple of months. Very exciting!
Looking to plant a privacy wall with a native plant. Thinking of the Cocoplum which has flowers and eatable berries. Very excited.
That is a great idea Andrea! 😄
Paint above those plants the brightest white paint that you can get and it will reflect the Sun and you will be surprised how it will grow to the wall my girlfriend did it in Florida maybe just a thick band all the way down the wall so it just adds a nice big white stripe and they will grow towards it
We were blessed for a couple of years to have Good Roots Nursery in Estero. They were owned by Sandhill Natives of Arcadia. The nursery was sold to a developer and now we need to travel to find a new natives nursery. Good Roots had a really good variety of plants, we learned a lot and as I said, we were really blessed to have had them. We are on 6 acres and found that we had many of the varieties growing wild on our property, so we were able to take cuttings and transplant some. We found that most natives do NOT like to be transplanted. We have beauty berry that is 4'x4' right now and loaded with berries. Some easy to grow hedge plants are Clusia (pitch apple), grow it from breaking off a leaf or take a cutting. I usually put 4 cuttings in a pot to create a large plant for transplanting into my hedge row. they like lots of drinks during the week and they can get a height of 30ft. so if you want to have a totally walled off yard, they grow a lot faster than Cocoplum.
Looking great! Have you done a video sharing tips for how to source good native plants, nurseries, seed swaps, organizations or groups? I am new to my area but so far having a tough time finding many nurseries that have more than a couple natives. The nearest 100% native nursery for my area is 2 hours away! Resources, tips or advice would be greatly appreciated 💜
Where do you live Madeline? There are a few native nurseries all over Florida.
That is a great idea! I would love to help you and others find native nurseries! Let me put that on the idea list and see what I can do! So happy you are planning to add natives 😄
I got Legionaires pneumonia from bagged potting soil years ago. This bacteria can live in the soil. It would probably be a good idea to wear a mask if working with lots of damp soil, too, especially if your sweating and maybe touching your face.
Oh no! I hadn’t heard that before. Thank you for sharing
Hello, l heard you mention somebody from the Pinellas chapter of The Florida Native Plant Society, of which l'm a member. l live at a 26 acre condo complex (The Enclave 9100 9th St N) and have total control of the landscaping and have convinced the board to go completely native. My wife, who is now a board member, and l get around a $2,500 budget every year for plants. We have about a 4 acre wooded section in the middle that i've been busy clearing of invasives and restoring to native. lf you're in the area, you should stop by and let me show you around. l'm sure l could show you a tip or two and could probably send you home with a native seedling or two if you want. And lf your not a Florida Native Plant Society member, you should think about joining. You'll have access to really good info. l raise monarchs, LOVE that you planted milkweed!
That is amazing the work you and your wife are doing! I definitely would love to get a tour and see your great work! Email me and we can set up a time to meet! Wild.floridian@gmail.com
Is there any videos that show some ideas and watch even planting then
Maybe you could put links for the other videos about planting in this area……having trouble finding them
Here you go!
ruclips.net/p/PLfxugKDkQAouaZvvWvRM87eAfxFo1IPfc
Good idea on adding links
Time to rip out those little green grassy things that don't die barely flower and just take up a lot of space where native plants could go yeah you go girl
I can't find the videos where you did the planting. I found the one where you were talking about removing the original plants, but not the ones between that and this one. I'd love to see them. Also is there a way to send you photos of my new wildflower garden for suggestions? I love your videos.
Thank you Lin! If you click the playlist tab, it is the native plant landscaping playlist 😄 You can find me on Facebook and message me at Wild Floridian or tag me on Instagram.
I don’t know if you will ever see this but I have a question about the bidens alba, in my yard I have a ton of white beggerticks, I can’t find any bidens alba, how can I tell the difference better between the two or are they closely related? Is one native and the other isn’t?
Where do you buy native plants? Big box stores (Home Depot) don’t seem to have much variety. My area doesn’t have any Florida association of native nurseries
I buy mine at Wilcox which I think they do online orders. Google ‘native nursery near me’ to find something close or check FANN (Florida Association of Native Nurseries).
You make me feel SO much better about my decisions... I feel like I always have to go back 300 times to fix everything as I learn 🥲 thanks
What is the best milk weed for st Pete area for the attraction of butterflies
Pink swamp milkweed 😄
Where do you find native plants in the Tampa Bay area?
I get mine from Wilcox in Largo. But there are other places like Sweet Bay down in Palmetto. Little Red Wagon in Tampa. Do a google search for native plant nursery near me and you'll have options.
What is the front ground cover?
Blanket flower has the red yellow flower and Pineland Lantana has the small yellow flowers
Honeysuckle is invasive?
Where did you buy beauty berry plant?
Wilcox in Largo. Native nurseries will usually carry Beautyberry.
Where did you get that triangle trellis? Also, where can I buy Biden’s Alba? Thanks!
The trellis was here when we bought the house. I’ve never heard of anyone selling it. It is all over the place if you look... fields, roadsides, parking lots... happy hunting 😄
Where do you get swamp weed
I got swamp milkweed at Wilcox in Largo but many native nurseries carry swamp milkweed. Also Florida Wildflower Foundation carries seeds... so check them out too!
What was the button like blossom I spotted? 😊
Hi Patricia! That was the blanket flower after it drops its petals... so pretty in all its phases
There is another native, I think I have it on my camera roll of a whitish/creamy colored bush I saw on native plants or native gardening. Will take a look. Thank u! Ur so cute with expressions and hand movements.😊
What does tease out roots mean? I guess I don't do that, as I don't know what it means Yikes!
When you pull the plant out of the pot, if you see all the roots, then the plant is root bound and will generally not spread its roots which isn’t healthy. So take your fingers and untangle the roots. If you don’t see roots, don’t worry about it
Two comments...
- Wear gloves? Are you kidding me? How are you going to feel the soil and the tender roots of the seedlings you are planning? Wearing gloves in the garden is like putting on a wet suit to hug your kids!
- I wish I only had a 10x4 plot... I have 5 acres and I'm getting lost! Yes, I planted Beautyberries, native Lantana, false Rosemary, Pawpaw... And I have birds and butterflies here and there... Squirrels galore... But I don't see having accomplished anything! Yes, I have an apple/pear/peach/plum orchard on one corner, citrus trees kind of hiding somewhere where they are hopefully protected from the freezes I get, mulberries and figs here and there (and about 2 acres of woodland for the enjoyment of the goats)... But I don't have a vision on how take it to the next level :( ... So be glad you have a little plot you can focus on!
... and looking forward to your next videos!
What's the name of the native vining plant? Also, will these natives tolerate mostly shade. I have a North facing house front and I'm limited n what I can grow. Thanks for the great video!
Hi Bridgette! The big one at the end is a Blue Ocean Morning Glory... unless you are talking about the one I removed... that is a Japanese Honeysucke. Generally the plants want full sun to semi shade. The full playlist covers each plant 😄
Hi! I found your channel yesterday, I’m wondering if Morning Glories are invasive in Florida or not, because I live in a similar weather to Florida and I’m hesitant about planting it
We have many native Morning Glories in Florida. But many can be aggressive growers. It will depend on the type of morning glory you get to ensure it is easy to maintain. 😄
What is beautyberry good for? When i bought it several years ago they said it was great for bees and butterflies on flowers and birds eat the berries. Ive yet tosee anything come near her. Shes trying to take over the world so i have to control her( which i sooo hate trimming the flowers and seeds) and otherwise looks amazing and no wildlife.
Beautyberry is great for edible beautyberry jam, great food for a bunch of birds, natural mosquito repellant, food for our pollinators with the flowers... I love that your beautyberry is a girl! Are there birds and pollinators in the yard? They may be attracted to something else more OR something is keeping them away... predator, pesticides... hard to say. Take some pictures and tag me on instagram and I will check it out and see if I can see something.
I’m just afraid of getting invasive plants that will send out runners, spread seed everywhere…invite poisonous caterpillars into my yard… all things I have experienced first hand trying to “go native”
What is the white flower? I have an area on the south side of my house (side). Would it look good to plant dune sunflower near the house? I am trying to think of a pretty blue flower to plant among it. Something blue that will really show.
If it is the one in the thumbnail... that is pink swamp milkweed. Or if it is the one with the white and yellow center than it is Bidens Alba. For a native blue flower, check out blue curl!
@@WildFloridian I mean the plant on the left side. :)
Gardenia!
Or white tropical sage... I’m guessing tropical sage is what you are looking at 😄
I'm an artist I could do your wall and I live right here in St Petersburg
By placing this garden away from your vegetables have you experienced beneficial insects leaving veggies to this area?
I know this is 2 years old but could not watch it. The background music is so overpowering your presentation. People like me cannot focus what you are saying. I love your channel and so happy most of your videos do not contain the annoying music.
Beauty berries make an interesting jelly but have really not much taste otherwise and should not be consumed in mass. Here is a great link from eat the weeds. www.eattheweeds.com/?s=Beauty+berry+
Love Green Deene! Thank you for sharing! I have found some better beautyberries to try... at Disney of all places! 😄
