Drought Tolerant Plants

When the heat of summer hits, you'll be glad you included these plants in your landscape.  Well....unless you just like to water.  Once established, they can manage very nicely on their own without a lot of continued watering effort on your part.  Give them deep regular drinks the first year and then you can relax.
