Florida insects are most attracted to native plants which they know are safe food sources. Saltbush is an Australian plant that grows where rainfall is less than 10 inches annually. Here is a link to a native plant resource for Florida gardeners. https://www.floridanativenurseries.org/plants/filter [1]
