It gets really hot and dry here.

Southwest Perennials

DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS
Summers in Texas can get really dry with cracks in the ground large enough to swallow small children. While many cultivated flower beds languish in the heat with water rationing and restrictions, there are several good choices for drought tolerant landscapes without resorting to cactus.

Southwest Perennials is committed to supporting the educational efforts of many agencies across the State Of Texas for water conservation. We have provided a list of our products which we feel can survive these lean times with proper care and preparation.

Establishing these plants in the Fall and early Spring will be key to dry Summer survival.  Conversely, they should be established in well-drained areas to promote survival during the wet times of the year.
