Abstract
So far we have discussed how factors such as climate, microclimate, and place of origin influence why individual plants grow where they do in nature and how those factors should influence our selection of plants for the landscape. Of course, in nature and in the built environment plants rarely grow alone. They grow with other plants, both from their own species and from others.
