Drought-tolerant plants help you create a garden or patio with water use in mind. In suitable growing conditions, well-established plants may need less additional watering. Explore the options for your outdoor space at ExoticsAtHome and choose according to light levels, soil and winter hardiness. Bring character to your garden with plants suited to its conditions.
A border that dries out quickly in summer calls for careful plant selection. Drought tolerance occurs across a range of plant groups and growth habits. This gives you scope to create planting that suits your taste, from a calm, leafy border to a garden with bold exotic accents.
Consider how much sun the area receives and how well the soil holds moisture. A dry, sunny spot calls for different plants from a dry, shaded area. Assess winter conditions too: soil that is dry in summer may retain plenty of moisture during wetter months.
Newly planted drought-tolerant plants need water to establish their roots. Check soil moisture and adjust watering to suit the species and the weather. Once established, many species can manage with less additional watering. During prolonged dry spells, continue to check whether water is needed.
Plants in pots may need watering more often than well-established plants in the ground. The available volume of soil and water is limited. Check the potting mix regularly, especially in warm, windy weather, and use a pot with drainage holes and a growing medium suited to the species.
Base your choice on growing conditions, mature size and the level of care required. Check winter hardiness too: drought tolerance alone does not indicate how much frost a plant can withstand. Explore the drought-tolerant plants at ExoticsAtHome and choose a species that suits your garden plans and the care you can provide.
