[quote=Anonymous](1) They help preserve biodiversity. (2) Because they are adapted to local conditions, they generally require less water, fertilizer, and pesticides. (3) They won't become invasive species that spread and harm local wildlife. (4) While some pollinators may be able to feed off of non-native plants, many species are adapted to specific types of plants. (As a side note, plants in your yard can survive without pollinators. What they can't do is reproduce and spread.) There's nothing wrong with mixing native and non-native plants, but I think it's best to use predominately native plants. [/quote]
