| When selecting Water Smart plants, consider the purpose the plants will serve.
Are you improving your foundation landscape, adding shade, creating a windbreak, or adding color? Do you want perennials or annuals? How much time can you devote to maintenance?
Take into account each plant's hardiness, light requirements, resistance to disease and insects, pruning requirements, mature size, and invasiveness, and learn which species, varieties, and cultivars meet your needs.
