Landscape Plants for Dry Soil Conditions

Care and How To

Many plants grown in the home landscape require consistent moisture throughout the growing season. However, there are a few annuals, perennials, shrubs, and trees that perform well in dry weather or dry soil conditions.

All of these drought-tolerant plants will require water initially to establish a good root system. Once established, however, they require little watering and will make it through the driest of years with little damage.
