A question to the master gardeners among you: Is it a "sin" to plant a non native plant in an area if it is in its proper climate designation? For instance, my geraniums thrive year-round down here. Are they native? If not, should they not be planted? Same thing with palms. Why shouldn't they be planted if they are the kind that will withstand this climate?
It seems to me if all we planted were native plants, the landscape could be pretty dull. We don't have any palms, but I like seeing them about.
