Where to start in Oneida County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Oneida County gives you the most rated choice (224 plants), and American vetch (Vicia americana) is the easiest start on that list. Never watered is the hard one here: 67 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 376 unrated natives too.
