Butterfly on San Diego daisy
Many gardeners select plants for specific purposes in their gardens.  Some want to attract butterflies or hummingbirds, others live at high elevations or in coastal areas, and still others want to know what to plant near an existing oak tree.  The following lists will help gardeners select the perfect plants for their needs. For more general native plant garden lists, grouped by plant needs, consult the California Classics Plant Palette.  We will be adding to these lists, so be sure to check our website often.
