Where to start in Lincoln County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Lincoln County gives you the most rated choice (44 plants), and Blackeyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) is the easiest start on that list. Stays soggy is the hard one here: 13 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 100 unrated natives too.
