How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
The Drought Tolerant Garden includes expertly selected, eye-catching plants that thrive with less water. Like all young plants, these perennials will still need your care in their first few seasons, but will become quite self-sufficient as they mature, even with inconsistent or below-average rainfall. Grow this resilient garden and enjoy less stress about your watering chores.
Our Drought Tolerant Pre-Planned Garden is designed to be roughly 7 x 14 ft and includes care instructions, a planting map and 25 plants:

"I am so thrilled. I planted three of these preplanned gardens last year and they survived so well and look beautiful that I bought three more. It is everything I was hoping for. the plants arrived healthy. The garden map is easy to use, and the instructions are clear"
"Blackhawks Big Bluestem Grass was dead on arrival and Echinacea Mix died. But everything else looks good and growing. Also, the three Elijah Blue died with the grass package."
"The plants arrived healthy and ready for planting. The instructions and suggestions for placement were helpful. The cost was reasonable."
"So far, it is doing well in a hot, dry plot. Time will tell; some of it won't come up until next year. A couple died off. But overall, it is thriving, so that's a huge plus for me. Next year I suppose we'll see if the landscape plan looks good or not. Hard to tell right now."
