The plants on this list are considered by OF/IFAS horticulture specialists to be well adapted to growing
in Florida landscapes. When planted under appropriate soil, light, and climatic conditions, most
generally require little maintenance compared with other plants. Each plant's preferred growing
conditions (soil pH, soil texture, relative drought tolerance, soil drainage/moisture, light range, light
optimum, and salt tolerance) are included here as a guide to choosing plants for your specific site
conditions. Additional information is given on growth rate, mature height and spread, flowering color
and season, value to wildlife, wind resistance and other characteristics helpful for plant selection and
maintenance.
See the key to symbols and abbreviations used in the tables for details. Remember to always put the
right plant in the right place by matching each plant's needs with the environmental conditions found at
the site. There may be variation in some characteristics, especially in the region (north, central or
south) of Florida in which plants will grow. Check v~ith your county's OF/IFAS Extension office to
confirm the appropriateness of specific plants (look in the government pages of your phone book or see
http://solutionsforyourlife.ufl.edu/offices.html for your county's contact information).

Key to Symbols and Abbreviations:
Florida Region and Cold Hardiness Zones:
Region (includes Florida regions in which plant will grow):
N=North; C=Central; S=South (see map at right).
USDA cold hardiness zone (http://www.usna.usda.~ov/Hardzonelhzm-se1.html
is listed below the region and includes Florida zones only.
N/I =Native and Invasive Status:
FL =Florida native `,i'~
NA =Not yet assessed for invasive potential by the IFAS Invasive Plant Working Group '"
No =Assessed by IFAS Invasive Plant Working Group and not considered to be a problem species
(not considered invasive) and can be recommended (for full details on assessment procedure,
see http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/assessment.html)
No/C =Assessed by IFAS Invasive Plant Working Group and not considered to be invasive, but use with
caution in at least one region (see comments column for details on those plants)
FL/NA =Some species are Florida natives and some are non-native species that have not yet been
assessed
Growth Rate, Height and Spread:
Growth rate: Slow; Medium; Fast; S-M =Slow-Medium; M-F =medium to fast
T =mature height in feet; ~ =mature spread in feet
Attachment 1
Soil pH (dives the range tolerated by the plant):
•ooo =Acid o••o =Slightly acid to slightly alkaline
••oo =Acid to slightly acid o... =Slightly acid to alkaline
•••o =Acid to slightly alkaline •••• =Tolerates any soil pH
o•oo =Slightly acid
Soil Texture: C/L =clay loam; S/L =sandy loam; S =sandy; S/C =sandy clay; any =any texture
Cnil AAnic4~~ ~ro•
~~' =well drained ~' =medium drained ~ =wet ~.~ ~' =well drained to medium drained
'~ =medium drained to wet ~_:~ ~`' ~ =well drained to wet
Drought Tolerance: High, Medium, Low, or None (Note: Both drought tolerance and soil moisture tolerance
should be considered, and they are not the same. For example, a plant may tolerate wet soils and also
have high drought tolerance, and another plant may prefer well drained soils but have low drought
tolerance. )
Light Range and Light Optimum:
=Full Sun ~~ =Partial Shade ~~ =Shade ^ =Optimum light conditions
Salt Tolerance: H =High; M=Medium; L-N: Low to None; U =Unknown
Wildlife: ~ =Attracts butterflies ~ =Attracts hummingbirds ~ =Attracts other birds
Attachment 1
Use this list to choose plants based on your site conditions, following these steps:
1.) Find out and write down the conditions of the bed or other area you want to plant:
• The region of the state you live in. (Check the map on page 2 and remember that if you live close
to the border of a region, all of the plants listed for that region may not do well in your area and
some of the plants that do well in the next region may do well in your area.)
• The amount of light the site receives. (Check at various times throughout the day and through the
seasons. )
• Soil pH and texture. (Take samples and obtain a soil test through your county's Extension office.)
• Soil moisture (Is it in a high, dry area or a low area where water frequently accumulates? To check
drainage, dig a small hole, add water and see how quickly the water drains - if water stands for
more than 24 hours, consider it a wet site. )
• Exposure to salt spray or salty irrigation water.
• Size of area for plants. (Are there height restrictions such as a window nearby or power lines
above? Is the width of the area limited?)
2.) Determine the type of plant you want (tree, shrub, etc.) and go to that category on the list.
3.) Narrow down the list by choosing plants that match the region, light, soil conditions and moisture at
the site.
4.) Further narrow your list to those plants that will fit the site based on mature height and spread.
5.) Consider the need for salt tolerant plants, if applicable, and any additional factors you are interested
in, such as wildlife value or flower color and season.

For further assistance, contact the Florida Yards it Neighborhoods or horticulture program at your
county's OF/IFAS Extension office.
This list is meant as a guide to start choosing plants appropriate for your conditions. The absence of a
plant from this list does not imply that it is not well adapted to Florida landscape conditions. This list will
be updated periodically. Please check with your county's OF/IFAS Extension office for future updates.
For photos of the plants on this list, see the on-line database of Florida-friendly plants at
http://FloridaYards.orQ. There you can search for plants by choosing site conditions or look up specific
plants. For additional information and fact sheets on many of the plants on this list, see also
http: //hort.ifas. ufl.edu/woody/.
