CFS Fact Sheet - Fire Retardant plants

While no plant is completely fire resistant, some plants are more flammable than others, a quality that may be relevant for planning and growing in our hills gardens.

Given the right conditions - ALL plants will burn

The CFS have provided a fact sheet with information about this topic and a list of plants that are more difficult to burn.

To access fact sheet - Click here

The Adelaide Hills Council has also provided a useful Native Habitat Gardening Guide for low flammability gardens. Click here
