Proper plant selection is the key to a successful landscape. You wouldn’t put a shade loving plant in the sun or a pond plant in sandy, dry soil. That’s why native plants are always the best choice. These are native plants and treestoPennsylvania that are tolerant to diseases and insects specific to our region. When you build a landscape around native trees, shrubs, and perennials it creates an incredibly strong foundation. Not only will you have a beautiful, natural-looking landscape, but you won’t have as much maintenance to perform. Thousands of dollars are used every year for seasonal maintenance and installation of special watering systems for lawns and ornamental plants. Natives do not require this much attention. Pennsylvania has so many beautiful native plants such as the Pawpaw tree (Asimina triloba), Bluebell Bellflower (Campanula rotundifolia), Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis) and Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis), just to name a few. You do not always have to turn to an exotic plant for excitement in your landscape. Cardinal Flower not only has a striking red bloom, but it also attracts hummingbirds to your garden. Redbuds are one of the first trees to start to bloom in the early spring. Their pink/purple blooms really stand out in manicured landscapes as well as heavily wooded areas. If you have a long driveway, line it with Redbuds for a picturesque display after winter. Stop by Froehlich’s Farm & Garden for all of your landscape design and maintenance needs.
