Where to start in Haralson County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Haralson County gives you the most rated choice (34 plants), and Bristly buttercup (Ranunculus hispidus) 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 64 unrated natives too.
