Plant selector1

By choosing plants that are suited to your local soil and weather conditions, you can save water without restricting your choice of garden design.

Click on your Zone on the map below or use the suburb selector to find your region.

Remember, the less water drops a plant has the less water it needs.

Your local garden nursery can also provide advice on water efficient and drought tolerant plants suitable for your garden.
