Landscape Steering Committe Initiative

Approved List of Perennials

Plants were chosen for their Woodland landscape design classification and to our growing zone. They

were checked out with a nursery for any warning issues, or availability issues. It was felt that enough

plants need to be considered in order to take into account specific growing conditions (sun/shade etc.)

and to provide diversity and interest. Keep in mind the beds where these plants are intended to be

planted are small AND have diverse growing requirements so a variety is required to address all needs.

Only perennials were selected. No annuals are to be planted in the beds. They are to be restricted to

containers on patios and to the seasonal planting areas done by our landscape contractor.

Some are evergreen which will provide year round colour.

All flower at varying times throughout the year which will provide color throughout the year.

Choices were also made on the basis of requiring little to no maintenance, i.e.deadheading etc.

Some exist on the property currently and would continue to be allowed. When plants need to be

replaced those on this list will be considered. In other words we do not have to replace roses with

roses.

Hostas (any and all varieties) exist on property now.

Astilbe (various varieties) exist on property now. Early to mid season bloomers.

Azeleas exist on property now
