PLANTS • The garden displays a variety of material that grows well in the conditions found on Kiawah. Native plants, indigenous species that grow naturally on Kiawah and/or throughout the southeast coastal plain, are labeled throughout the garden. These plants play an invaluable role in Kiawah’s ecology. New selections of native plants are continually being added as our garden grows. WILDLIFE • Not only does the structure of the garden provide opportunities for cover and nesting, but many of the plants provide important functions for wildlife. • Passionflower is used as the larval host plant by several butterflies. • Sweetgrass provides a seed source for small birds. • Yaupon holly berries are a food source for a host of migratory and resident songbirds. • Coral honeysuckle provides nectar for hummingbirds.
