Rugged native plants for replanting after invasive species removal Choose plants based on the growing conditions of the site (sun exposure, soil type and moisture). The best time for planting in spring is between late April and the 3rd week in May, or in fall between September to mid-October. Waiting until the heat of late spring or summer will require weekly watering.
