A Practical Guide For the Modern Garden

Planning A Drought Tolerant Garden

Posted by Jayme on January 20, 2008

A recent guest to my blog made reference to High Country Gardens, a popular mail-order catalogue in the southwest. I have bought a pre-planned garden myself for our parking strip. I chose xeriscape perennials for this area since the hose barely reaches far enough for me to water all the plants. Once established, these perennials are very drought tolerant. High Country Gardens is a great resource for water-wise plant combinations, garden plans, and helpful gardening tips for every region in the US. I really dig the Cold Hardy Succulent Sampler.
