Re: Native Plant Rescue

**W*@aol.com**

Susan has a good point on sustainable vs natives-only. 

I often wonder, if the choice is concrete/blacktop or a non-native  garden, 
what they'd choose? Sure there are plenty of great hardy native  plants, but 
lets face it - in many situations, such as along a busy strip-mall  parking lot, 
they are just not going to thrive and survive the abuse and  neglect. I'd 
rather see anything green than more gravel or rubber  mulch.

Sincerely,

super-sustainable and loved-by-wildlife sedums in my  garden.
