Answer 1

I live in central Fl, too, so here's what I would plant if your garden will be in the sun.........vincas, pentas, cosmos,(which can be grown from seed and reseed every spring) or bush daisies, and all are drought resistant. The pentas attract butterflies. If your garden is going to be shady, go for impatience. As for a vine on your chain link fence, I would plant confederate jasmine, which prefers sun or shade and will cover your fence in no time and is loaded with sweet smelling white flowers. There are so many choices for a shade tree, but most of them grow pretty big and some loose their leaves in the winter so I would suggest going to a nursery and asking them for their suggestions. They can also give you suggestions on what kind of flowering plants to plant in your sunny or shady garden better than the home do it yourself stores, like Lowes and Home Depot. They have native plants and other plants that the other stores don't have. Hope this helps you.
