Drought Tolerant Plants

Drought tolerant plants are a blessing, especially during summer. Once established, these trees, shrubs and perennials require minimal care and can help you save time and money on your water bill.

Listed below are popular varieties of drought tolerant plants we carry, however all varieties listed may not be available at all times.

Also, please be aware that, while these plants are considered drought tolerant, they will still need your help making sure their water needs are met, especially when newly planted. Mature and established plants should also be checked on periodically and particularly during periods of prolonged drought.
