Plant Lists

We have developed lists of plant groups that we like to include in our landscape designs.  These are plants that we have become familiar with in our landscapes and feel that you might enjoy knowing about.  The lists will be regularly updated to reflect our newest favorites as pictures are taken of them and inspiration strikes.  If there are specific plants that you would like information about but are not yet listed please ask.  We are only a fraction of the way there.  We have found a couple of nurseries that have some of these plants for sale online.  There are links to the nursery information on the plant pages that correspond with the plants that the nurseries stock.  Or you can go to  the Australian Plants Catalog directly. Or click on the letters below to link to an alphabetical list of the plants.

Palm Trees: Looking to add a little bit of the tropics to your yard.  There are more than just a few specimen 

California Native Plant Lists: What could be more appropriate for our landscape than plants and wildflowers from our local natural environment? 

Rose Lists: David Austin Roses, Hybrid Teas, Old species Roses, Climbers and more. Dry Shade: This is a list with a  thought to the conditions under native oaks, specifying plants appropriate to the survival of the trees.
Salvias: Sages:   For teas, scents, or just for the beauty of them in the landscape. Perennials:   for cut flowers, for long lasting color in the landscape. 
Trees:   A spot of shade, a visual screen, connection to the shared view. Shrubs:   Forming the structure of the garden, and with amazing colorful displays.
Deciduous Fruit Trees:  It is a goal of mine to be able to eat fruit from my trees all year long. Vines:  They may be slow to start but watch them go.  It is important to know how big and fast they can grow when you will be burdened with massive pruning jobs later. 
Rare and unusual Plants: Why use something ordinary when an exceptional plant can fill the bill Ornamental Grasses ~ A soft touch for a landscape
Fall Color:   There is nothing that brings the season to a satisfying close better than a Fall foliage and berry display. Critters in the Garden: With diversity of plants you get diversity of the creatures that will call your garden home.  Make a Butterfly Garden.
