What is it?

The Canberra Plant Selector provides the opportunity to look up the characteristics of a range of plants found in Canberra gardens. By being more aware of the growth habit, sun, shade and frost tolerances and the water requirements of plants you can choose plants suited to your garden and save water without restricting your choice of garden design.

You can select plants by common or botanical name, or you can search for a list of plants with specific characteristics.

Your search will provide a photograph, scale drawing and plant description for each plant.
