    Dollars and Sense

    We used 10 plants in Hardiness Zone 9.

    The most expensive part of the landscape was the trees. The East Palatka Holly Tree cost $415 dollars. The Silver Buttonwood Tree was $187.50.
    The least expensive plants were the trailing lantana at just four dollars apiece.

    Plant prices may vary by zone.
