Thank you for your comment, and for raising such a good point about the photo, which featured the Chrysanthemum. While the Chrysanthemum is not a native species and does thrive best in moist to wet soils, the key to waterwise landscaping in Florida is choosing the right plant for the right place.

Thanks for the update. I started triming yesterday and have noticed new sprouts coming out of beautyberry, milkweed and polygonella. Just wondering though why the District did not post a drought-tolerant, Florida native plant picture in the article.
