Where to start in Treutlen County
If you have only one spot to fill, sun all day is where Treutlen County gives you the most rated choice (28 plants), and Prairie fleabane (Erigeron strigosus) is the easiest start on that list. Under trees is the hard one here: 9 rated plants, so for that spot it is worth asking a local native-plant society about the 37 unrated natives too.
