Native Plants Take Time
Worth The Wait
Do not be disappointed if you don't get blooms in the first year of growth of your native plants. These hardy perennials put most of their energy into establishing strong and healthy root systems in the first year. You will see more growth above ground in the second year, and by the third year you will be rewarded with lush foliage and abundant blooms.
