Talking about coastal location and a comfortable tropical climate, there is no other place to think about but Miami. Add to that the visual enhancements that are the flowers and the plants struck everywhere in the city. There are hundreds of plant species claimed to be native in this Southern Floridian region. Although there had been many exotic plant exports, none can match up to how native Miami plants come most suitable to the soil, pests, warm temperature and rain patterns in the area.
Wildflowers are among the most abundant plant species that can be found along these areas. They are usually classified in accordance to light preference and tolerance. Those that come with low tolerance for salt include black-eyed Susans, silk grass, penny royal, yellow top, twin flower, butterfly weed and climbing aster. Those that come with higher tolerance include beach sunflower, Indian blanket, pineland lantana, beach peanut and seaside goldenrod.
Some of these wildflowers are expected to reach heights up to forty eight inches. This is most common among pineland lantana, yellow top and silver or seaside oxeye. Beach peanuts may even reach heights of up to 72 inches if left to thrive under full sunlight. They are most ideal to be placed in beachfront locations.
Native shrubs are often classified either as large shrubs or small trees. Their sizes will typically depend on how they have been pruned, exposed to sunlight and exposed to nutrients. Marlberry is known for being the fast-growing evergreen shrub that comes with fragrant flowers of cream color and green foliage. This is most used as screen or hedge as well.
Firebush is another popular native shrub in the region. The plant was named as such because of its red-orange colored flowers. One advantage to growing these types is that they can be planted either in shaded areas or exposed areas. They can be used as hedges or accents as well. Myrsine columnar shrubs are the types that are drought and salt tolerant. They grow in hot locations and grow to 15 ft tall.
You may also want to consider growing groundcovers, ferns and ornamental grasses. A lot of these can grow and reach up to forty eight inches in height. Among the most common grasses are gamma grasses, penny grass, Elliots love, muhly grass, Purple love and sand cordgrass. The Fakahatcee grass may grow to a height of 5 feet when exposed to sunlight. But this may be planted within a shaded area as well. Through time, it will bear flowers with blade during summers.
There are giant sword ferns that can be found in the area as well. These types are able to reach 4 feet tall and can be ideal in areas that have moist soils and shade. Ground covers that are common to these locations include railroad vines, beach beans, sea purslane, sunshine mimosa, and golden creeper.
Palm trees are taken as the most symbolic plants for tropical locations. These trees can come in many variations. There are 8 popular types that can be commonly found in tropical areas. These include Silver palms that come with high salt tolerance. They thrive under full sunlight and also produce fruits almost year-round.
Cabbage palms are among the Miami plants that grow up to as tall as 50 feet. They can adapt to soil properly and are also drought resistant. Scrub palmettos are the smaller palms that grow only to 5 ft in height. They bear purple-black fruits as well.
