Where to start in Crockett County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Crockett County gives you the most rated choice (66 plants), and Climbing hempvine (Mikania scandens) is the easiest start on that list. Under trees is the hard one here: 24 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 53 unrated natives too.
