Where to start in Coke County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Coke County gives you the most rated choice (11 plants), and Indian blanket (Gaillardia pulchella) is the easiest start on that list. Stays soggy is the hard one here: 1 rated plant, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 81 unrated natives too.
