Arizona Desert Plants
There
are literally hundreds of Arizona desert plants. You can find anything
from the Agave to a Zinnia and hundreds of species native to Arizona such
as the Saguaro in between. If you would like a listing of plants that do not require a lot of water, scroll down for a free downloadable brochure!
Many people prefer the plants that are considered low water plants in Arizona because they prefer to conserve water. Did you know that up to 70% of the water used in our state is used for outdoors?
Knowing the high percentage of water used for the outdoors, the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association does its part at promoting and educating both the residents and visitors alike, about using water wisely so that we can assure future generations safe and sustainable water supplies throughout the entire state of Arizona.
If you would like to help conserve water by planting Arizona plants that do not use a lot of water, consider planting low water plants by following this brochure link:
Shrubs, in fact, are a great way to have the perfect foundation for a picturesque landscape with the many Arizona desert plants to choose from. Before choosing your plants in Arizona selection, it is best to plan out the space you have to work with. Keep in mind that many of the shrubs and plants grow quite large or sprawl out which can either crowd the area or even look awkward, depending on what you plant.
