Earth-Kind® Plant Selector

Select your general region on the map or use the region list. You can also find your zone by searching with your zip code. The next page will allow you to search for plants by specific characteristics.

The Earth-Kind Plant Selector DOES NOT provide information concerning the potential invasiveness of landscape plants, though plants with a high Earth-Kind Index value will generally be more "aggressive" in their growth habit than plants with a lower value. See About Invasiveness for more information.
