Collection: Drought Tolerant Perennials

Drought-tolerant perennials can bring lasting color, texture, and structure to gardens with lower summer water needs once established. This collection includes flowering plants, grasses, herbs, succulents, and foliage plants suited to sunny borders, dry slopes, containers, and water-wise landscapes.

Water needs vary by plant, climate, soil, and exposure. Even plants adapted to dry conditions need regular irrigation while establishing their root systems. For the best results, match each variety to your USDA zone, available sunlight, drainage, mature size, and local summer conditions. Well-drained soil is especially important for many Mediterranean-climate plants and succulents.

Use these perennials to create layered plantings with seasonal flowers, contrasting foliage, and habitat for hummingbirds, bees, butterflies, and other garden visitors. You can also explore flowering sages in our Salvia collection or find sculptural choices in our Succulents collection.
