Where to start in Glascock County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Glascock County gives you the most rated choice (25 plants), and Gray goldenrod (Solidago nemoralis) is the easiest start on that list. Under trees is the hard one here: 7 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 32 unrated natives too.
