Department of Environment and Resource Management - Waterwise Plant Selector
The Department has launched the Waterwise Plant Selector, which is an online database of over 4,000 native and non-native plants suited to Queensland's climate zones. It provides Queensland residents with a comprehensive reference tool for finding water efficient plants which will grow in their region.
The Waterwise Plant Selector allows people to search for plants by postcode, which links to one of seven climate zones. A broad range of information on each plant is also provided, including size, light requirements and suitable soil types. Searches can be refined by specifying various plant attributes such as water needs, plant type, flower colour and more.
The Waterwise Plant Selector is a free online resource.
