Landscape Design Objective: Understand factors used to select plants.

Things to think about… Sun Exposure Soil Moisture Temperature Plant Size Growth Habit Color & Texture Cost & Availability

Plant Exposure to Sun Sun-at least 6 hours of full sun Semi shade- morning sun, protected from the hot afternoon sun Shade-filtered light with little or no direct sun

Soil Moisture Conditions Dry to the touch Moist to the touch Moist SoilDry Soil Wet Soil Spongy to the touch

Plant Hardiness Zones The larger the number, the warmer the zone

Plant Hardiness Zones

Plant Size Plants of certain maximum or minimum sizes are needed for specific locations in a landscape Foundation plants do not need to be tall enough to block windows Shade trees need to be tall enough to provide adequate shade

Growth Habits: Trees

Growth Habits: Shrubs GlobularLow & Weeping Spreading Arching PyrimidalColumnar Upright & Loose

Growth Habits: Groundcovers Small plants used to cover the ground in the place of turf Small shrubs Others

Color & Texture Different shades of green leaves Various colors of leaves in the fall Various colors of flowers Time of flowering Large leaves=coarse texture Small leaves=fine texture Density is determined by how much sunlight or wind can pass through the foliage More dense=less sun/wind passes through

Cost & Availability Affordable by client Available at local sources It does not matter if a plant meets other requirements if it is not available and if the client cannot afford it
