2. What is a ‘native’ plant?
• A plant species that occurs naturally in a
particular region, ecosystem, and/or habitat
without direct or indirect human intervention
• A species that evolved over time with its biotic
community
• A species that has not been genetically altered
3. Cultivars
• A cultivar is a plant or group of plants selected for
desirable characteristics that can be maintained by
propagation.
• A cultivar is given a cultivar name, which consists of the
scientific Latin botanical name followed by a cultivar
epithet. The cultivar epithet is usually in a vernacular
language. For example, the full cultivar name of the
Amber Wheels Blanket Flower is Gaillardia aristata
'Amber Wheels’.
The 'Amber Wheels‘ part of the name is the cultivar
epithet which, according to the Rules of the Cultivated
Plant Code, is bounded by single quotation marks.
• Created by selection, hybridization or genetic
engineering.
4. Native plant taxonomy
• Common names:
– Sagebrush
– Mountain Big Sage
– Big sagebrush
• Scientific/botanical names:
Artemisia tridentata v. vaseyana
Genus
– Artemisia
Species
– tridentata
Variety
– vaseyana
5. Local Provenance
• “Native plants with local provenance
(place of origin) will be genetically better
suited to your local growing conditions
than one that is indigenous to another part
of the country with very different growing
conditions.” -Wasowski
6. Why use native plants?
• Lower maintenance
• Water conservation
• Sustainability
• Lower your carbon footprint
• Minimize environmental effects of herbicides and
pesticides
• Decline in pollinators
• Preserving sense of place
• Concern about invasive species
• Have a role in preserving species
• Part of natural ecosystems

Regulations
“In situations involving parcels of land that are maintained and
designated or designed as natural parks/gardens, the owners may
request exemption from the Director of Public Works or designated
representative. The exemption will be in the form of a Managed
Natural Garden/Park Agreement. The purpose is to recognize that
private owners may have managed naturalized, less water
intensive gardens and lawns. It shall be the duty of such persons to
maintain their property so that it shall not be considered a fire
hazard, a public safety visibility hazard at street or alley
intersections, a public health hazard or a public/private nuisance.
Parcels of land designated or designed as natural parks/gardens
may lose the designation of exempt, under this ordinance, if the
property is not managed as stated in the management agreement.”
