Where to start in Grant County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Grant County gives you the most rated choice (61 plants), and Golden tickseed (Coreopsis tinctoria) is the easiest start on that list. Stays soggy is the hard one here: 29 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 142 unrated natives too.
