ecological gardening efforts is the inclusion of native plants in landscape design ( Uren et al., 2015 ). Research suggests that gardens composed of native plants are associated with higher native insect β-diversity (the change in species diversity between

modified areas may buffer temporal gaps in pollen and nectar resource availability ( Erickson et al., 2020 ; Salisbury et al., 2015 ; Seitz et al., 2020 ). Native and nonnative ornamentals have been investigated by some for their attractiveness to
Ornamental and native grasses are increasing in popularity in southern United States gardens, as exemplified by evaluations in Florida ( Wilson and Knox, 2006 ), Georgia ( Corley and Reynolds, 1994 ; Ruter and Carter, 2000 ), and South Carolina
Urban landscape plants are often grown well beyond the environmental boundaries of their native range, particularly in regard to precipitation. Irrigation mitigates water stress for plants from mesic habitats grown in arid region urban landscapes
