Perennials Of The Coastal South

I really love plant lists. Maybe you do too. I take my list and open a seed

catalog (now a website) to see the plant, bloom, and height and width to see

where I could fit it into my garden beds. After moving to the coast from

metro Atlanta, I had a lot of science projects going on in the yard. The theme of

my gardening for a year or two was “Will it Grow Here?” Searching UGA

literature and gardening books, I have developed a list of really tough plants

that can take the heat. Test some of these in your garden this year.
