| Abstract: |
North Carolinas native plants provide well-adapted food and cover for North Carolinas native animals, and a well-planned landscape of native plants can help you attract a diversity of wildlife to your property. Native North Carolina plants also are well-suited to the states soils and climate and require relatively little upkeep, once established on an appropriate site. However, the spread of exotic plants poses a threat to native plants and animals of North Carolina. This publication describes the problems associated with some exotic plants and presents a detailed list of native plants that may be used in place of these foreign ornamentals to attract wildlife to your property. |
