This entertaining ebook describes popular flower garden plants considered drought-tolerant or able to thrive with limited watering needs.

With dryness becoming the new 'normal' in many areas and frequent rain becoming a rarity, it's clear that we need to adapt to water-saving gardening practices. Record-high temperatures are now a constant, and with predictions of continued dryness, it's essential to find new ways to grow our flower and vegetable plants.

It may surprise you that many plants can adapt remarkably well to occasional arid conditions once fully mature. However, it's crucial to understand that there are limits to how much you can reduce watering without seriously affecting a plant's growth, blooming, and survivability. A plant's adaptability depends on your regional climate, the water retention in your garden soil, and the methods you use to retain soil moisture during dry periods.

This publication will help you discover several popular and surprisingly adaptable flowering plants that will help lower your ever-increasing water bills, decrease your time and labor in watering, and still provide plenty of beauty throughout a dry growing season.
