This is supplemental to the Native Planting Palette, to
be used with natives to provide variety in the structure of the vegetation.
Also, these plants assist in diversifying the composition of the vegetation
as well. Most areas would be planted with multiple layers using a diversity
of species. However, discrete areas could be planted with one or a few selections
to achieve a specific height or density of planting. Even though these plants
are non-native, they were chosen for their similarities to native vegetation.
