| Drought Tolerant |
|
|
The term Drought Tolerant is much used in horticulture, and often misused. The plants we list here will grow and survive with minimal Summer water, and be attractive at the same time.
Many are native to regions with little annual rainfall, or from areas with Mediterranean dry Summer / wet Winter climates. But they all share the ability to grow in your garden when water is scarce.
Please consider carefully your situation before ordering plants. Not all of these plants will grow in all areas. We're happy to make recommendations - we're here to help you grow great Salvias.
