City of Sacramento – River Friendly Landscape Program Very Low to Medium Water-Use Plant List Attached is the current City of Sacramento River Friendly Landscape Program’s list of recommended plants for the River Friendly Landscape retrofit. This list is intended as a tool to aid program participants as they calculate their intended coverage values of their retrofitted landscape, which must exceed sixty percent(60%) of their entire converted area. This list is based off of the findings put forth from the Regional Water Authority, Water Use Classification of Landscape Species (WUCOLS IV), and other California districts that are showing success with similar programs. The attached list includes the Plant Coverage Area in square feet for each plant at its mature size. Regardless of maturity at the time of post-inspection, the River Friendly Landscape Program Administrators will determine the canopy coverage of the retrofitted landscape using the coverage value for a mature plant. The City of Sacramento does not endorse or require the use of any or all plants on this list. Participants must use drought-tolerant, very low to medium water-use plants to meet the 60 percent living plant coverage requirement for converted areas. High water use plants and turf grass will not be eligible for a rebate and using them will void your entire rebate application. Plant species not on this list must be submitted and approved by the City of Sacramento prior to the start of the project.

City of Sacramento – River Friendly Landscape Program

Very Low to Medium Water-Use Plant List Attached is the current City of Sacramento River Friendly Landscape Program’s list of recommended plants for the River Friendly Landscape retrofit. This list is intended as a tool to aid program participants as they calculate their intended coverage values of their retrofitted landscape, which must exceed sixty percent(60%) of their entire converted area. This list is based off of the findings put forth from the Regional Water Authority, Water Use Classification of Landscape Species (WUCOLS IV), and other California districts that are showing success with similar programs.

The attached list includes the Plant Coverage Area in square feet for each plant at its mature size. Regardless of maturity at the time of post-inspection, the River Friendly Landscape Program Administrators will determine the canopy coverage of the retrofitted landscape using the coverage value for a mature plant.

The City of Sacramento does not endorse or require the use of any or all plants on this list. Participants must use drought-tolerant, very low to medium water-use plants to meet the 60 percent living plant coverage requirement for converted areas. High water use plants and turf grass will not be eligible for a rebate and using them will void your entire rebate application. Plant species not on this list must be submitted and approved by the City of Sacramento prior to the start of the project.

Water Requirement

Plant water needs based on WUCOLS classifications for region 2, Central California.

VL – Very Low L – Low M – Moderate

Invasive Plants

Plants that are considered invasive are not included in this list and will not be allowed for this rebate program. See http://www.cal-ipc.org/ for a list of invasive species.

Plant Water Requirements for Plants Not on this List

Water requirements given here are for established plants, for any other plant not found on this list, you must find this information using outside sources. Please consult a nursery/landscape professional, gardening reference book or other reliable resource to understand species requirements, length of time plant needs to get established and the water each plant requires. Examine soil type, weather and site conditions to determine the frequency of supplemental irrigation during the dry non-rainy seasons. Typically, no extra water is required during the rainy seasons. Please direct any questions to the contact below.

City of Sacramento – River Friendly Landscape Program

Very Low to Medium Water-Use Plant List Hydrozones

Hydrozoning is a key component of a water-efficient irrigation system. Factors that determine a hydrozone include infiltration rate of the soil, soil type, slope, sun exposure and water needs of the plants. A good hydrozone divides a landscape irrigation system based on individual plant requirements, plant height and planting density.

Select plant species with similar water requirements and group together within a hydrozone. Similarly irrigation type should be uniform in each hydrozone and should be served by one valve. For example, plant material irrigated by multi-stream rotor nozzle should be on a separate schedule than plant material irrigated by drip.

Calculating Coverage Area for Plants Not on this List:

The calculations used to find Plant Coverage Area at maturity for plants not on this list are obtained by determining the area of a circle using the plant spread (width) as the diameter. To find the area of a circle, you must square the diameter and multiply by 0.7854. The values will always be rounded to the nearest full number (0.1-0.4 is rounded down and 0.5-0.9 is rounded up)

Diameter x Diameter x 0.7854 = Plant Coverage Example: 5 x 5 x 0.7854 = 19.6 (rounded up to 20)
