What matters to you may not be what matters to others. What is important to the State of Florida, is that we don't clear cut the whole state to build houses, replanting trees and shrubs foreign to the native wildlife. The State passed laws 2 decades ago to assure this didn't happen.
A combination of ignorance, laziness and greed from governing agencies and agents... to the sub contractors paid to plant the landscapes are not only cheating the home owners out of what they paid for, but cheating Florida's native species out of existence someday.................

Would you recommend against my desire to include several Little John Dwarf Bottlebrush plants in my landscaping plan?
They are highly recommended by many gardening sites for our central Florida climate zone.
However, i can't find this plant/shrub on the Univ of Fla list of native plants and shrubs. Other plant list sites say the various bottlebrush plants and trees are either "not native to North America" or are "native to Australia".
