This is a list of garden plant varieties listed by
Latin name and common name. Inclusion here is by plants that I am familiar
with as a landscaper. It is not a complete or exhaustive list. The title "Landscapers
palette" comes from the fact that these are the plants that for
95% of the time I would choose from when planning a planting scheme.
Exclusion doesn't always mean that a plant doesn't
deserve a place here on merit, it may be because it's uncommon, difficult
to get hold of, that I haven't yet got around to including it yet -
or of course that it doesn't deserve a place here on merit.
