| Since guerrilla gardeners oftentimes lack the conveniences & amenities offered to mainstream farmers (consistent plot access, regular watering, privacy, protective edging, etc) not all plants are suited for this type of gardening. However, not all suitable plants will grow well in every climate zone.

| **Native wildflowers** work very well for seed bombs. In many cases, these seeds will be incredibly easy to find. Indeed, some places online even sell premixed packets & bags of wildflower seeds, though these may not be suited to your particular region (especially if you live in a place that abides by its own unique climate physics, like Florida or the Pacific Northwest). If you are growing edible plants alongside your decorative ones, consider looking up which plants in your region attract **bees** and other pollinators. Consider doing that even if you aren't growing edible plants, as everyone needs more bees. | **Native wildflowers** work very well for seed bombs.

| - | If you are into **xeriscaping** in warm climates, drought-tolerant succulents like **yucca trees** are among the easiest things to clone, don't require fertilizer or fancy soil, and they practically take care of themselves. Occasionally you will have to prune the yucca to force its branches to fork and bush out, and every one of those cuttings can become a **free new tree** if you stick them in the ground and keep them watered occasionally. A stem cutting 12-18 inches long, and at least 8 inches in the ground, will root in no time at all compared to most other trees. **Angel trumpets** will also readily root, grow quite large in a short amount of time, and survive neglect for years in warm climates once they are established. | + | If you are into **xeriscaping** in warm climates, drought-tolerant succulents like **yucca trees** are among the easiest things to clone, don't require fertilizer or fancy soil, and practically take care of themselves.
