Plants suited to Southeast Michigan’s climate and your property’s specific sunlight, soil, moisture, and drainage conditions will perform best. Depending on the setting, we may recommend serviceberry, viburnum, hydrangeas, coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, ornamental grasses, and other native or well-adapted plants.
