High Desert Approved and Prohibited Plant List

Bulbs

Bulbs have rounded underground storage organs. They are herbaceous plants that have low ignition and fuel load. Rabbits love all bulb foliage except poisonous daffodils.

Planting Instructions:

Follow planting and watering instructions. Plant only in containers, natural grass areas, and in-ground covers. These plants have a high moisture content. They can be planted within 5 feet of the house and under trees that have been trimmed up double the height of the bulb. They may be planted under trees that have been limbed up to double the height of the plant.

Maintenance Instructions:

Follow the instructions to separate bulbs. Remove dead plants and dead parts.

Fire Intensity & Propagation:

Bulbs have low flammability, propagation, and fire intensity risk. All bulbs are herbaceous without woody parts lowering fire risk. The height and width of the plants are the plant’s fire load and its potential fire propagation size. The small height size lends these plants to a horizontal fire if they burn.
