Description

Our FireSmart Collection for Zone 1, the Immediate Zone of your yard, is designed to help you establish an ember-resistant defensible space within the first 5 feet of your home. This collection includes a variety of drought-resistant low-growing groundcovers and succulents that were selected for their high moisture content and mat-forming growth habit. Blooming groundcovers add pops of color throughout the season, blending with evergreen succulents to form a tapestry of color and texture.

Defensible space is a concept for FireSmart landscaping that involves creating a buffer zone around your property to help slow or stop the spread of fire. This space is divided into three main zones determined by the distance from a structure. High Country Gardens has developed a plant collection for each zone, to easily turn your yard into a more fire-resilient landscape.

• For Zone 1 – Immediate Zone (0-5 feet), plant, FireSmart Collection - Zone 1

• For Zone 2 – Intermediate Zone (5-30 feet), plant FireSmart Collection - Zone 2

• For Zone 3 – Extended Zone (30-100 feet), plant FireSmart Collection - Zone 3

Be sure to check local ordinances for defensible space requirements in your region.

*Plants are subject to change due to availability. If we make substitutions, we feature plants with similar attributes suitable to the collection design. No planting map included.

As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat.  The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.

Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge.
