§ 98-102. Relative water requirements of commonly used plants.
Latest version.
The following is a list of plants that are commonly used in landscape designs with water requirement classifications of low (L), medium (M), or high (H). The list should not be considered a complete list of plants that can be used in landscape projects. The list is provided to assist the landscape designer in choosing species of appropriate water demands to meet the requirements of this division and to group species of similar water demands to facilitate efficient irrigation. To use species other than those listed, the designer may provide the city with information indicating the water requirement of the species. Information may include the listing of a plant in an acceptable reference stating its water requirement characteristics, comparing it to a species in the plant list, field data, etc. Acceptable references include the Sunset Western Garden Book; Trees and Shrubs for Dry California Landscapes, Robert Perry; and Water Wise Gardening, E.B.M.U.D.
