Plants in California

Plant evidence Scoped by documented range and hardiness — independent of any construction code.

The largest pool on the site: California's 717 documented plant records sort into 382 plant groups, across half-zones 5b to 11a — alpine to nearly frost-free.

With a list this long, start at how the split reads — each bar tallies cited records by status — and lean on the filters hard; form, sun, and water carve it to a defensible-space bed.

Plant groups documented in California

Each bar splits one genus's cited records — listed fire-resistant, keep away, in conflict, not yet classified — and never rates the genus. The default is a record-share filter, not a rating: choose “All record splits” to see every documented group. 62 of these groups have no sourced common name, so the card shows the Latin genus.
