This adaptation allows them to survive long periods of drought without needing regular watering. Not only are they drought-tolerant, but they also come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, making them perfect for any garden or landscape.

Cacti

Cacti are another well-known group of drought-tolerant plants. Like succulents, they are adapted to store water in their tissues, which allows them to survive in hot, dry environments. In addition to being low-maintenance and water-wise, cacti come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, from towering saguaros to small, spiky globes.

Mediterranean plants

Mediterranean plants are native to the Mediterranean region and are well-adapted to hot, dry summers. These plants are often silver or gray in color, which helps to reflect the sun's rays and reduce water loss. Many Mediterranean plants are also aromatic and can add a lovely scent to your garden.

Xeriscaping

Xeriscaping is a type of landscaping that focuses on using drought-tolerant plants and techniques to create a low-maintenance, water-efficient garden. Xeriscaped gardens often incorporate elements like rocks, gravel, and mulch to help retain soil moisture and reduce water use.

Native plants

Native plants are species that are indigenous to a particular area. Because they have evolved in that environment, they are often well-suited to the local climate and soil conditions. Choosing native plants for your garden can help to reduce water use and create a more sustainable landscape.
