Got Sun?: 200 Best Native Plants for Your Garden

The author of Got Shade? and Go Native! turns out “an ideal primer for gardeners who want to have lovely, sustainable and hospitable plantings” (Moya Andrews, author of Perennials Short and Tall). Are you looking for more butterflies and birds in your yard? Do you enjoy seasonal color and beauty? Are you concerned about environmental issues such as water conservation and pollution control? Do you yearn for simple, maintenance-free gardening? Arranged in a question-and-answer format, Got Sun? showcases native trees, shrubs, ground covers, ferns, vines, grasses, and over 100 sun-friendly perennials for your home garden. Illustrated with detailed drawings and beautiful color photographs, this is a book to keep close at hand as you plan and plant your garden.

“Carolyn Harstad’s passion for growing native plants is contagious. Her hands-on advice about plantings that attract butterflies will benefit experienced as well as novice (budding) gardeners. It is as if Carolyn takes the reader’s hand and leads us through planning to preparation to selection of the best plants for each site. She is honest about any idiosyncratic behaviors as well as the charms of each plant so that we feel we know each of them, warts and all, before inviting them into our garden.”—Moya Andrews, author of Perennials Short and Tall
