Appendix C. Recommended Plant List

  • A.
    Plant Variety. Applicants are encouraged to plant a variety of different plants that are listed in this appendix. Design professionals must balance the desire to use a mass of a single species of plant with the need to create a suitable diversity in the built environment.
  • B.
    Alpine Environment. Winter Park’s alpine environment allows for a limited range of plants to survive. Therefore, a plant’s water demands, invasiveness, maintenance requirements and tolerance for the alpine environment must be evaluated for landscape design. Given these considerations, a palette of recommended plants is listed below. Plants listed are not appropriate for all design locations within the Town. Plants not listed will only be appropriate if a qualified design professional can justify their use to the Planning Commission.

      Native Grasses and Wildflowers.

      1. 1.
        Use a blend of approximately eighty percent (80%) tall fescue, ten percent (10%) bluegrass and, if desired, ten percent (10%) other grasses. The exact blend and selected varieties will depend on intended use of the lawn area. Consult with a qualified professional to determine the composition mix and appropriate soil preparation requirements.
      2. 2.
        No grasses or wildflowers in a mix shall exceed twenty-four inches (24") in height.
      3. 3.
        Native grass and wildflower areas are not maintenance-free. Provide occasional watering, erosion control and other maintenance as needed to retain an attractive appearance.
      4. 4.
        Mow these areas each fall, after natural seeding has occurred, to a height of six to eight inches (6" to 8").
