Where to start in Hyde County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Hyde County gives you the most rated choice (25 plants), and Arumleaf arrowhead (Sagittaria cuneata) is the easiest start on that list. Never watered is the hard one here: 10 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 38 unrated natives too.
