§ 53-1231 Grow Green Plant Guide.

The Grow Green Plant Guide was created to help residents select beautiful native and adapted plants which are naturally drought tolerant and resistant to pests and diseases. The less watering, fertilizing, and chemical control required in yards, the more contribution to the conservation and preservation of precious water resources, streams, lakes, and aquifers is possible. The guide was made possible through a partnership between the City of Austin and the state cooperative extension. The rating system is as follows:
(1) 
Highly recommended.
Plants are chosen for their pest resistance, hardiness in the regional climate, and utility in the landscape.
(2) 
Recommended.
Limited opportunity to use in the landscape due to their location or native range.
(3) 
Water.
Refers to the plant's water needs.
(4) 
VL (very low).
Water occasionally during very dry conditions.
(5) 
L (low).
Water thoroughly every three to four weeks if no rainfall.
(6) 
M (medium).
Water thoroughly every two to three weeks if no rainfall.
(7) 
H (high).
Water thoroughly every five to seven days if no rainfall.
(8) 
Availability.
Most plants on the list are readily available.
a. 
D (difficult).
May be difficult to find.
b. 
Native.
Texas Native Wildflower Center approved native plant.
c. 
Wildlife.
Flowers, leaves or berries attract butterflies, insects and/or birds.
d. 
Deer-resistant.
There is very little guarantee that, when very hungry, deer will not eat almost any plant; the following are guidelines:
1. 
Somewhat deer-resistant.
2. 
Usually deer-resistant.
