Success = Right Plant + Right Place
Based on the fact sheets highlighted in our Tried and True Plants library, Best Bet pages recommend groups of plants well suited for a particular use, a special purpose, a distinct set of conditions. These lists are not exhaustive, but they reflect the local experience of our Master Gardeners. Listed plants are often described fully in the individual fact sheets.
