Lists for Central Florida Gardeners

Introduction to Florida Plant Lists:

The best plant list to start with in Florida is the Plant Database at floridayards.org. Simple, intuitive, it is a great place for beginners.

Four other excellent sources for lists:

• Plant Lists page on Floridata.com
• IFAS Florida-Friendly Plant List 2006
• Native Florida Plants for Home Landscapes
• WaterWise Florida Landscapes

Also, using several resources, I've created three plant lists tailored for Central Florida:

• A general list of plants suitable for Central Florida (Hardiness Zones 9a and 9B).
  • Flowers
  • Ground Covers
  • Palms
  • Shrubs
  • Trees
  • Vines
• A list of Favorites
• A list of plants that can be used as hedges and screens.
