Water Smart Plant Finder test

Gardens are a vital part of our lifestyle, yet many of us don’t know how much water our lawn and plants need. 

On average, over half of our household water use in Darwin is on the garden and often our plants are overwatered. To help reduce water use in the garden, we have developed a list of native and exotic water efficient plant species so that you can water your plants just the right amount! 

Use the filter below or search for a plant by name to find out how often the plant needs to be watered. If you can't find the plant your are looking for, then follow the 3, 2, 1 Watering Guide.

^{*All the plants in this Plant Finder have some resistance to cyclones but for more detailed information see the City of Darwin’s Preferred Trees for Darwin.}
