Many plants in the Keys range across all of the plant zones. It’s a win for the birds to just plant at least three natives together. The geology changes in the Keys from Key Largo limestone to Miami Oolite. It’s hard as a rock. Please carefully read all safey instructions.

If you want to be specific to a particular Key with a particular genetic componet, I suggest a consult with a park ranger Janice Duquesnel at Windley Key.

Most plants have a wide range from South Florida to the Florida Keys and Key West. I am offering a variety of plants and ideas across these three plans. You may want to download the others to choose for your particular property. In South Florida, the geology is hard a rock. You’ll need to take extra care installing your plants.

Many of them can also be grown in pots too.

The plants across Central Florida can usually be grown from Gainesville to Tampa and farther south too. I have created a few planting plans for your consideration. Keep in mind the freeze factor in this region. And, along the coastal areas (east and west coasts) that salt tolerant plants will thrive better. If in doubt, the UF extension services can offer assistance too.

Central Florida is unique. It’s tropical and it can still have a few days of freezing weather conditions. I created a separate coastal plan with suggested plants for salt tolerance.  Consider how close you are to a body of water when choosing plants

In Central Florida (west and east coast), salt tolerance should be a consideration in your plant selection. I have added a plan with room for other suggestions. You may also want to download a South Florida and Gainesville plan too. It depends on how far north or south and the potential for freezing weather.

North and South Florida are different in ecologies, geologies, and climates. The panhandle (North and Northwest) Florida can freeze. It’s almost tropical but not quite. The trees grow taller due to the geology and soils. I have added two plans: inland and coastal. You may find the correct plants for your property in either one.

North and south Florida are different in ecologies, geologies, and climates. The panhandle (North and Northwest) Florida can freeze. The coastal areas from The Big Bend to Pensacola Beach should consider salt tolerance and spray. I have added a few easy breezey coastal plants for your consideration.

This pdf is coming soon. I’ll list the common birds flying through Florida and some local ones too. The E-Bird app is also very helpful in the meantime. The Audubon Society is also an excellent resource
