The plants below perform well in the Contra Costa Water District service area. However, even if a plant appears on the list, there is no assurance it will do well in your garden.
Success depends on a variety of factors.
The water and light requirements vary for each plant. For example, part shade plants should generally be protected from afternoon sun. Some drought tolerant plants require deep watering a few times per year, while others may require weekly watering. In addition, the type of soil will affect the success of a plant. Some plants are more adaptable to heavy clay soil, while others require well-drained soil.
