Where to start in Caddo County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Caddo County gives you the most rated choice (109 plants), and Blackeyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) is the easiest start on that list. Stays soggy is the hard one here: 35 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 298 unrated natives too.
