Where to start in Kingfisher County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Kingfisher County gives you the most rated choice (68 plants), and Blackeyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) 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 209 unrated natives too.
