Georgia
Georgia spans mountains, piedmont, and coastal plain, so its most beneficial native plants are those that support wide biodiversity, handle heat and humidity, and stabilize everything from red clay soils to sandy coastal flats. The strongest species here tend to be “keystone” trees, long-blooming pollinator plants, and erosion-controlling grasses.
