When considering local native plants for landscaping, it is important to choose species that are well-suited to the specific climate, soil type, and other environmental conditions in the area. Santa Rita Landscaping Inc. is known for encouraging the use of native plants because they tend to require less maintenance, are more resilient to local pests and diseases, and support native wildlife, including pollinators. Some widely recommended native plants include California poppy, which provides vibrant color with its bright orange flowers and is also drought-tolerant. Another excellent choice is the manzanita, with its striking bark and attractive foliage, offering year-round interest. For ground cover, the brown-eyed Susan is a popular option, adding beautiful blooms while controlling erosion. Additionally, if you are looking for shrubs, the purple sage is both fragrant and a natural attractor for bees and butterflies. In terms of trees, the coast live oak is praised for its majestic appearance and ability to provide shade while sustaining local ecosystems. Furthermore, the desert willow is a beautiful choice with its lovely trumpet-shaped flowers that draw in hummingbirds.
