Recommended plant types for extensive vegetated roofs need to be drought, wind and frost resistant, such as self-generating sedums, herbs, grasses and other vegetation that can withstand harsh growing conditions. The water stored in the growing media and drainage/retention layer is sufficient to sustain the drought resistant plants between periods of normal rainfall. Thinner assemblies and very lightweight growing media blends are available for Extensive Garden Roof® Assemblies. Features of the Extensive Garden Roof Assembly:
