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.

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.No grasses or wildflowers in a mix shall exceed twenty-four inches (24") in height.
- 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.
