Where to start in Jewell County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Jewell County gives you the most rated choice (118 plants), and Downy paintedcup (Castilleja sessiliflora) is the easiest start on that list. Stays soggy is the hard one here: 56 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 194 unrated natives too.
