{{NOTOC}}

Plants have specific functions in relation to LID practices as well as aesthetic qualities. These include promotion of [[infiltration]], treatment of pollutants and stabilization of soil. The plant species that have been selected for each LID practice as described in the plant list table have been selected based on functionality, survivability, suitability and availability. The landscape professional should use this list as a guide, taking into consideration the appropriate planting zone, the size of the planting area versus size of the plant at maturity, tolerances to drought or periodic inundation, low maintenance requirements and adaptability. Invasive plants are inappropriate for LID practices.
