2003 HG-2003-01 In order to better market the water wise plants available in many Utah nurseries and garden centers, and to assist consumers in identifying these plants, a program to recognize desirable low water use species has been developed. Representatives from Utah State University Extension, Utah State University Center for Water Efficient Landscaping, the Utah Nursery and Landscape Association, Utah Division of Water Resources, Utah Botanical Center, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, Red Butte Gardens, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Salt Lake City Corporation, Sandy City, and the Utah Native Plant Society have worked together to organize a water wise list of ornamental trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials, ornamental grasses, and ground covers. The plants on the list are (1) water conserving, (2) adapted to Utah'

s arid climate and cold winters, (3) available in the industry, (4) relatively easy to maintain in the landscape and (5) have desirable landscape characteristics which remain desirable under limited water availability. The water wise designation suggests that, on average, the plants only need to be watered approximately once every two weeks after establishment and will still retain their aesthetic characteristics. More specific information on cultural requirements such as growth characteristics, USDA hardiness zones, soil preference, etc., can be found at www.waterwiseplants.utah.gov DECIDUOUS TREES Acer grandidentatum Bigtooth Maple Acer tataricum Tatarian Maple Acer truncatum Shantung Maple Amelenchier species Serviceberry Catalpa speciosa Western Catalpa Celtis occidentalis Common Hackberry Chilopsis linearis Desert Willow Corylus colurna Turkish Filbert Cotinus obovatus American Smokebush Crataegus douglasii Black Hawthorne Fraxinus anomala Single-leaf Ash Ginkgo biloba Ginkgo Gymnocladus dioicus Kentucky Coffeetree Koelreuteria paniculata Golden Raintree Maclura pomifera (select cultivars) Osage-Orange Parrotia persica Persian Ironwood Platanus x acerifolia London Planetree Hyssop/Agastache (Agastache cana) Ptelea trifoliata Hop Tree Quercus gambelii Gambel Oak Quercus macrocarpa Bur Oak Robinia neomexicana New Mexico Locust Sophora japonica Japanese Pagodatree Syringa reticulata Tree Lilac Ulmus parvifolia Lacebark/Chinese Elm Zelkova serrata Zelkova EVERGREEN TREES Abies concolor White Fir Calocedrus decurrens Incense-cedar Cedrus atlantica glauca Blue Atlas Cedar Cedrus libani Cedar of Lebanon Cupressus arizonica Arizona Cypress Juniperus osteosperma Utah Juniper Juniperus scopulorum Rocky Mountain Juniper Picea abies Norway Spruce Picea pungens Colorado Spruce Pinus species Pine species Pseudotsuga menziesii Douglas-fir SHRUBS (Full Sun) Amelanchier species Serviceberry Amorpha canescens Lead plant Amorpha nana Dwarf Lead Plant Artemisia species Sagebrush Atriplex confertifolia Shadscale Buddleia davidii Butterfly Bush Caragana species Siberian Peashrub Caryopteris x clandonensis Blue Mist Spirea Ceratoides lanata Winterfat Cercocarpus species Mountain-mahogany Chamaebatiaria millefolium Fernbush Chrysothamnus nauseosus Rabbitbrush Cotinus coggygria Smokebush Cotoneaster species Cotoneaster Cowania mexicana Cliffrose Cytisus scoparius Scotch Broom Ephedra viridis Green Mormon Tea Fallugia paradoxa Apache Plume Forestiera neomexicana New Mexico Privet Genista species Spanish Broom Juniperus species Juniper Kolkwitzia amabilis Beauty Bush Mahonia fremontii Utah Holly Peraphyllum ramosissimum Squaw Apple Philadelphus species Mock Orange Physocarpus species Ninebark Pinus mugo Mugo Pine Potentilla fruticosa Potentilla Prunus besseyi Western Sand Cherry Prunus x cistena Purple-leaf Sand Cherry Prunus virginiana Common Chokecherry Quercus turbinella Shrub Live Oak Rhus species Sumac Rosa woodsii Woods Rose Salvia dorrii Dorr Sage Shepherdia argentea Silver Buffaloberry Sorbaria sorbifolia False Spirea Syringa vulgaris Lilac Viburnum lantana Wayfaring Tree SHRUBS (Shade) Holodiscus dumosus Mountain Spray Kerria japonica Japanese Kerria Mahonia aquifolium Oregon-grape Symphoricarpos species Snowberry Viburnum rhytidophyllum Leather-leaf Viburnum Viburnum x rhytidophylloides Blackhaw PERENNIALS (FULL SUN) Achillea species Yarrow Aethionema schistosum Stonecress Agastache species except foeniculum Hyssop/Agastache Allium species Ornamental Allium Amsonia tabernaemontana Blue Star Anacyclus depressus Mount Atlas Daisy Anaphalis margaritacea Pearly Everlasting Antennaria species Pussy Toes Arabis caucasica Rock Cress Armeria maritime Sea Pinks/Thrift Asclepias tuberose Butterfly Weed Aster species Aster Astragalus utahensis Utah Lady Finger Aubrieta deltoidea Aubrieta Aurinia saxatilis Bask et-of-Gold Baileya multiradiata Desert Marigold Ballota pseudodictamnus Horehound Berlandiera lyrata Chocolate Flower Brodiaea species Brodiaea Callirhoe involucrata Poppy Mallow/Wine Cups Calylophus species Sundrops Catananche caerulea Cupid'
