Civano Landscape Design Guidelines
The following plants are from regions outside Southwestern U.S. deserts.
Some will fit in better than others into Sonoran style landscapes. Many
make excellent potted plants. Planting some of these, especially trees
without desert character, is discouraged in front lot areas and other
areas adjacent to native landscaped greenways.
