Before You Plant: A Plant Selection Guide for Homeowners in North Carolina and Surrounding States
This plant selection guide for homeowners in North Carolina and surrounding states will show what a huge variety of plants are available in locally grown, large, landscape-ready sizes. There are over 2000 varieties listed and divided into categories including large trees, shrubs, groundcovers, etc. It only includes locally grown plants, so you won't waste time reading about plants that are not available. Important facts are provided about each plant to help in choosing the right plant for the right location, which will save money and time by preventing costly mistakes. Being able to review this extensive listing of available landscape plants BEFORE YOU PLANT will help prevent that feeling of regret that comes when you see a plant you really love but don't have room for because all available planting space is already full. For the more novice landscaper there are also sections on how to plant and how to take care of your plants once they are in the ground. This includes a section on pruning Crepe Myrtles, which is usually done incorrectly and is one of the biggest mistakes seen in landscapes everywhere. Read more
