Look for Our Water Schedule Stickers at the Nursery

Every plant sign at Garden View clearly highlights watering expectations so you can group species accurately:

Look for the 1x water per week sticker

1× / Week Water Rating

Ultra-low-water plants and CA natives that stay vibrant on a single weekly deep watering cycle once root systems establish.

Look for the 2x water per week sticker

2× / Week Water Rating

Moderate low-water varieties ideal for flowering beds and mixed Mediterranean borders needing light, consistent moisture.

Hydrozone Planting Tip

Group plants with matching sticker ratings on the same irrigation valve to maximize water efficiency and prevent over-watering.
