What is the Waterwise Plants for WA directory?
The Waterwise Plants for Western Australia directory is a list of plants suitable for growth within the various regions of Western Australia. The main purpose of the directory is to identify and promote plants that once established, will flourish on their applicable region’s watering regime during the height of summer.
The criteria for a waterwise plant is:
- Plants that, once established in improved soil will only need watering at most:
- Every four days during summer and less during cooler months in Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Northern Goldfields or Interior
- Once a week during summer and less frequently, if at all, during cooler months for the remainder of the State - Plants that are legally available for sale from major plant wholesalers.
The directory promotes over 1,000 water efficient plants, including many natives that will survive in our climate on the various watering regimes in place around the state. Find out more about WA Natives.
Some of the plants within the directory are from other countries with similar climates and soil types to ours that will survive with little watering. The aim of the directory is to accommodate people’s rights to choose plants that will meet their needs and wants, whilst promoting plants that are water efficient.
Please note that the database does not include any declared weeds. However, when there is the potential for a plant to become a weed, it has been noted and you should check with your local government authority before planting.
