Which Florida native plant are you?

The four plants in this quiz

All four are Florida natives that handle our heat, feed local wildlife, and look good with little fuss.

• Firebush

  Hamelia patens

  Bright red-orange flowers for most of the year, and hummingbirds and butterflies can't stay away. The hotter it gets, the better it looks.

• Coontie

  Zamia integrifolia

  Florida's own native cycad. Slow, steady, and nearly impossible to kill. It's also the native host plant for the rare Atala butterfly.

• American Beautyberry

  Callicarpa americana

  Loaded with bright purple berries in late summer and fall that feed mockingbirds, cardinals, and other birds. Generous to the core.

• Muhly Grass

  Muhlenbergia capillaris

  A quiet green clump most of the year. Then fall arrives, and it turns into a soft pink cloud that stops traffic.
