Plant selection criteria

Plant selection criteria involve choosing the right plants based on factors like climate compatibility, soil type, and water needs to ensure they thrive. Considerations include the plant’s growth habit, resistance to pests and diseases, maintenance requirements, and aesthetic qualities such as color and texture. It’s also important to select plants suited for the intended purpose, whether for screening, ground cover, or feature specimens. Proper selection ensures health, sustainability, and visual harmony in the landscape while minimizing resources and maintenance efforts.
