Where to start in Logan County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Logan County gives you the most rated choice (104 plants), and Alkali buttercup (Ranunculus cymbalaria) is the easiest start on that list. Never watered is the hard one here: 51 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 131 unrated natives too.
