This drought-tolerant garden plan won’t require as much watering as thirstier plants.
They’ll provide plenty of colorful flowers and lush foliage throughout the growing season, even with little rainfall.
They also tend to have waxy or fleshy leaves that store water or hairy leaves which trap water.

Drought tolerant garden plants often can survive weeks between waterings, depending on heat and humidity levels.
You should also water slowly in the morning hours before the heat sets in and evaporation occurs.
Usingdrip irrigationis also an option because this will get water directly to the roots with very little running off.
