Sun Exposure


Consider what your site will look like
  in the middle of summer.
This is the most stressful time of year
for plants due to lack of water and high heat.

Knowing what your site will be like
at this time of year
will help make a better choice in plant material.
 



Sun
 

Your area will be in all day sun and heat.


Part Sun
 
 
Your area gets at least half a day's worth of afternoon sunlight.


Shade

 Your area is shaded from the sun, but has some filtered light coming through.


Part Shade
 
Your area gets soft,morning light.

Planting Area Environment

Realize all plants need water.
Some more than others, some less. 
No matter which button on the right
you choose you will still need to
water your plantslong enough to
establish a strong root system.
 


Low Water  
Dry area with little to no water available


Normal       Rainfall under normal conditions. 
                  The area is watered by hand or auto irrigation


High         
Constant damp area/never dries out

Irrigation
How do you water?
 
Pay careful attention to your watering habits
 and note the available water at you disposal. 

Even the best of us miss a plant
from time to time when hand watering.
The plants selected for hand watering
were done so with that in mind.

Search By Height
How high do you need your plants to grow?


Foundation platings should range from 12"-24".
Curbside platings would be on the
shorter side of 12" unless foot traffic isn't an issue.
Hillside plantings can from 4" to 36" depending on preference and size of hill.  


*Note-Size plays an important role in creatinga
visually appealing landscape.
A tall groundcover on a small hill will look overwhelming, 
just as a tiny groundcover will be underwhelming 
planted below a huge tree.
