I like plumbago for the front low landscaping and Indian Hawthorne. as for trees, I like live oak, sweet gum (natives to Florida) and Magnolia

I plan to put in a butterfly garden out behind the screen. I do miss my butterflies!
Butterfly bushes from up North, Do they survive in FLA or is there a different plant. Those plants were so hardy. You could trim in back in the Fall and they always re grew!

Has anyone planted Cat Nip?
