What is a Presto Score?

Higher scores mean a plant is well-suited and likely to thrive, but some may be aggressive. For smaller projects, you might want to use them sparingly or delay planting them for a year or two to let less dominant species establish.


Lower scores indicate less common species for your site, but they can still be important, especially for pollinators and wildlife. These are often used more selectively.
