56 │ DESIGN ELEMENTS<br />

The following lists offer three different planting themes for the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Historic</strong> <strong>District</strong>. The plants<br />

are intended to be used for ornamental garden applications where the level of maintenance will be<br />

average to above-average. For plantings that require less maintenance, or for restoration of naturalized<br />

landscapes, refer to the lists in the Appendix. The plants provided in the “<strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> Native” and “<strong>Texas</strong><br />

Native” themes are adapted to the region’s climate and conditions, support an aesthetic that is unique to<br />

these areas, and require less frequent watering.<br />
