Delaware
Delaware is a small state, but ecologically it sits right in the heart of the Mid-Atlantic coastal plain. That means sandy soils, tidal influence, marshes, and nutrient-sensitive waterways feeding the Delaware Bay. The most beneficial native plants here are those that stabilize wetlands and shorelines, support pollinators, and reduce runoff pollution.
