Lavender
(Lavandula spp.)
Fragrant lavender is a gorgeous low-water, fire-wise choice for garden borders and containers — and pollinator-friendly to boot. Although the leaves of the plant are rich in oil, they are slow to ignite, as long as plants receive consistent water. Watch out for plants that show signs of die-back or have gotten woody. These should be cut back or removed to keep the landscape fire safe.
Where it will grow: Hardiness varies by species; many are between zones 5 and 9
Water requirement: Low to moderate
Light requirement: Part to full sun

can be firewise if watered and if maintained to keep them non-woody
