Plant Lists

We love and have gardening experience with many types of plants. Because most people don't have the time to experiment with the incredible variety plants available, we like to put together and share different kinds of plant lists. We think the plants on these lists are attractive, typically low-water perennials that perform well in our Central Valley climate.

We love our Arboretum All-Stars too, but there's so many more great plants out there! Expand your gardening palette with some of the plant recommendations below.
