Plant compatibility

Efficiency practices relating to plant compatibility are intended to ensure that landscape plants are compatible with the site conditions. Florida Water Star encourages that the right plant be installed in the right place. This ensures a sustainable landscape that is able to survive on minimal irrigation.

Plant site compatibility and plant grouping are efficiency practices that serve the implementation of the “right plant, right place” philosophy. The waterwise plant database is a tool that can be used to demonstrate compliance with these practices.
