The newly updated Low Flammability Landscape Plants – 6.305 Factsheet is an update from an original CSU Extension factsheet, "FireWise Plant Materials." This newly updated factsheet was a collaborative effort between Colorado State University Extension and the Colorado State Forest Service. This factsheet is a great tool for deciding what to plant by houses and structures, with the key objective of limiting the amount of flammable plant material. While no plant is “fireproof," certain plants can behave with less volatility compared to more highly flammable plants like juniper that are commonly planted or found near houses and structures.
