Jacksonville Landscaping FAQs

What grows in Jacksonville sandy soil?
Most Florida natives evolved in sandy acid soil. Sparkleberry, yaupon holly, and wiregrass thrive without amendment.
What Florida plants attract butterflies?
Milkweed (monarchs), passionflower (zebra longwing), and native asters attract dozens of butterfly species.
When do I plant in Jacksonville?
October through March is ideal — cooler with more rainfall. Avoid planting in summer heat.
Is there a North Florida rainy season?
Yes — June-September brings daily afternoon thunderstorms. Excellent for plant establishment but watch for fungal disease.
What are Florida-Friendly Landscaping principles?
Use Florida natives, water efficiently, fertilize appropriately, manage yard pests responsibly, and reduce stormwater runoff.
