Summary:
- Native plants are species that naturally grow in a specific geographic region without human intervention. They are well-adapted to the local climate and soil conditions.
- Cultivars are plants that have been selectively bred to have desirable traits, such as larger flowers or more vibrant colors. However, cultivars may not provide the same ecological benefits as native plants.
- Eco-beneficial plants, whether native or cultivars, can support local wildlife, such as pollinators and birds, by providing food and habitat. These plants can also help conserve water and reduce the need for pesticides.
