Spotlight on a native favorite: Thalia, also known as Alligator Flag! This native wetland species is known for its lush, thick leaves and beautiful flowering spires that appear during the summer months. While these perennials might brown out and look a bit dreary in the winter, they always return strong every spring. If you are looking for a hardy, native plant for your water's edge, Thalia is definitely a "green flag."
