Spring is a great time to think about landscaping. Did you know there are fire-resistant plants? Plants like manzanita, coast live oak, California buckwheat, lemonade berry, agave, yucca, and coral bells are known for their drought tolerance, moisture retention, and ability to withstand fire.
To find fire-resistant plants that are perfect for your area, check with local nurseries, landscape contractors, or your county’s UC Cooperative Extension service.
