Where to start in Langlade County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Langlade County gives you the most rated choice (202 plants), and American speedwell (Veronica americana) is the easiest start on that list. Never watered is the hard one here: 56 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 306 unrated natives too.
