Intro to Plant Sociability Index

Plant tags are unreliable, don’t provide the right (local) information, and often set gardeners up for false expectations — and this is why research is so important and empowering. Part of that research process is to learn how a plant performs, how sociable it is, as it grows and spreads. Understanding its sociability will help lower management and reduce problems with plants that either under perform or over perform. Unfortunately, plant sociability rankings are not a standard part of plant descriptions in most resources, but this guide will show you what to look for, how to gather the right information, and the best methodology for plant selection that leads to resilient and sustainable natural garden design.

If you’re ready to go deeper and make stronger plant choices for your designed garden that goes beyond the standard guesstimating, this is the ultimate 16-page guide that’s a perfect capstone to the other guides we offer.
