Plant Database
We’re here to help you navigate the process of creating a thriving native landscape.
We’re passionate about your success with native plants. Our goal is to expand this resource over time, empowering gardeners, contractors, and architects with the knowledge they need to create thriving native landscapes.
We prepared these plant profiles with anecdotal experiences: insights from our own gardens and stories shared by others. We encourage you to comment on the plant profiles and share your experiences and recommendations.
We’ve started with 50 of our hardiest species and will continue adding from our inventory.
Achillea millefolium (Common Yarrow)
Easy to grow with bright spring and summer flowers that attract pollinators.
Dudleya brittonii (Giant Chalk Dudleya)
A striking silver succulent that maintains a small rosette form year-round. Great as an accent around rocks or planted en masse.
Romneya coulteri (Coulter's Matilija Poppy)
One of the showiest poppies, known as the "fried-egg flower". Very drought tolerant, spreads by rhizomes and can easily spread 10 ft wide.
