What are the best native plants for South Jersey?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Excellent native plants for South Jersey include butterfly weed for pollinators, black-eyed Susans for summer color, oakleaf hydrangea for shade, switchgrass for erosion control, and winterberry holly for winter interest. Native plants are adapted to local soil and climate, requiring less water, fertilizer, and maintenance than non-native species.

Why It Matters

Native plants support local wildlife, conserve water, and thrive with less maintenance, making them a smart and sustainable landscaping choice.
