Fall and winter in Florida offer the perfect window for planting. While much of the country slows down, Florida's mild temperatures and seasonal rains make it a great time to refresh your landscape with hardy, low-maintenance plants that thrive in our unique climate.


Here are five Florida-friendly favorites to consider this season:


1. Muhly Grass – This native ornamental grass features stunning pink-purple blooms in fall and adds soft texture to any yard. It’s drought-tolerant and easy to maintain.


2. Firebush – With vibrant red-orange flowers, firebush attracts butterflies and hummingbirds all year long. It’s heat-loving and cold-tolerant, especially in South and Central Florida.


3. Coontie – A tough, evergreen native that adds structure to garden beds and requires very little care.


4. Winter Annuals – Add pops of seasonal color with pansies, snapdragons, and petunias. These cool-season flowers thrive in Florida’s winter months.


5. Dwarf Yaupon Holly – A compact, native shrub perfect for borders or foundation planting, with year-round appeal.
