If you live in Kansas or have a business in Kansas, you need to know the importance of using native plants in your home or business landscape. There are a plenty of reasons why this is a desirable choice, but here are a few of the most prevalent ones.
- Beauty & Interest. Native plants not only add interest, they differ from the typical plants that most people landscape with.
- Well Adapted. Since native plants are adapted to our environment, they will receive everything they need to grow and flourish naturally.
- Hardiness. Most native plants are hardy and will survive for hundreds of years as long as their soil, moisture and sun requirements are satisfied.
- No fertilizer needed. It is not necessary to fertilize native plants in order to survive.
- No watering needed. Native plants that are planted in a site that matches their moisture requirements only need water once first established. Afterwards, you don’t need to water them. This saves you big in time and money.
- No insecticides needed. Since native plants attract native insects, it will create a mini-ecosystem with beneficial insects and birds that will help control any pest species.
