The performance of 37 species under real-life green roof conditions was assessed by researchers in Ontario and Nova Scotia. Species invasiveness and winter survivability has also been evaluated. Positive results across many test species is providing green roof designers with a larger palette of green roof materials, in particular, a number of low maintenance plant species that perform well under harsh conditions.
