PLANTS SUITABLE FOR USE OUTSIDE GARDEN WALLS AT CATALINA PUEBLO Tucson, Arizona (Suggestive, not prescriptive) A list of plants follows this introduction; read this intro first. The list below identifies plants that are drought tolerant and suitable to the Catalina Pueblo streetscape outside the walls of your front patio. It does not pertain to what you plant inside your garden walls. Nor are you restricted solely to plants on this list. It is an ideas list to help you get started. Our CC&Rs provide general guidelines: - Use of boulders, rock groundcovers. Any crushed rock or decomposed granite used as groundcover must resemble native soil and rock both in color and material; no colored rock or stones shall be used. - Plant materials. Plant materials in areas outside of patio walls shall be natural (no plastic or artificial), native or drought-tolerant. Any grass grown inside patios must be a pollen-free variety. This wording harks back to 1930s antecedents when the original foothills developer meticulously preserved the foothills thornscrub biome as a natural garden and selling point for houses carefully integrated with the landscape. Our CC&R wording allows native plants, and plants from other deserts. But not all deserts have similar climates, and some foreign plants may not thrive here while others may become invasive. Do your research. Avoid plants that need irrigation, as they violate the intention of the CC&Rs. Plants are listed below by their binomial name (botanical Latin). These names are often unfamiliar to readers, but will make it easier for to research the plant. The binomial name indicates genus followed by species. When searching online, be sure to bracket the pair of words in a single set of quotation marks in order to find information on the intended species (e.g.: Dasylirion longissima or Dasylirion wheeleri to see the difference between these two species within the single genus of Dasylirion).
After each botanical name, the common or folk names are listed. You ll see from these that there are all kinds of recycled and overlapping names that are informally and confusingly applied to unrelated plants. For example, the folk names for Hesperaloe parviflora are red yucca and red aloe, but this plant is neither a yucca nor an aloe. When you ve narrowed your choice to a short list of personal interest, jot down both the Latin name and folk name and take it with you to a nursery to look at actual plants before making any final decisions. The botanical names will be very helpful in conversations with nursery staff, and will be handy when checking labels on plants offered for sale. The list below is sorted into basic categories to help you find plants that will grow to the size you want for a specific place. Click on the names below to jump to a category you d like to see, or scroll down: Flowers and wildflowers Sub-shrubs and small shrubs Bigger shrubs Trees Cacti Other succulents Vines Grasses Unsuitable plants Some plants are listed in more than one category. When choosing a plant, be sure to research its ultimate size and plant it with mature size in mind. At the end of the idea list, is a list of some plants to avoid. Some of these are well-suited to the garden inside your walls. You are discouraged from using them outside your walls for several reasons. Some are out-of-scale or look glaringly out of place along our streets. Others require permanent irrigation. Some are invasive, or are fire hazards, or will host packrats and snakes, or have noxiously high pollen counts. If you admire any plants from the discouraged list, do your research and limit it to placement inside your garden walls, taking care to avoid invasive and fire-hazard plants. Note that a few on the discouraged list are already growing outside garden walls; these specimens are grandfathered.
