Where to start in Panola County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Panola County gives you the most rated choice (132 plants), and Atlantic camas (Camassia scilloides) is the easiest start on that list. Under trees is the hard one here: 47 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 152 unrated natives too.
