ADWR Low Water Use Plant Lists

The Arizona Department of Water Resources publishes extensive lists of native, drought-tolerant and low water-use plants, trees and shrubs. The lists are custom-drawn for a variety of elevations in Arizona, from the desert valleys of the Phoenix area to the mile-high mountains of the Prescott region. There also are specialized lists for Tucson, which is 1,100 feet higher than the Phoenix area, and for Santa Cruz County, which is at a higher altitude and features a different set of flora.
