Drought tolerant flowers
Dry soil is not a problem - it is the preferred habitat of some of the showiest plants alive. Knowing the habitat of your plants is one of the most important rules when gardening.
🌸Flowers That Thrive on Neglect and Dry Soil:
- Lavender — Fragrant spikes intensify in dry, lean soil; overwatering causes root rot and leggy, weak growth. (Boy do I know this one from my many failures with it.)
- Black-eyed Susan — Prolific golden blooms on tough stems in dry ground; rich moist soil produces floppy plants with fewer flowers
- Yarrow — Flat-topped flower clusters hold strong in drought; wet soil leads to mildew, crown rot, and sprawling stems
- Sedum (Stonecrop) - Succulent leaves store water and deepen in color under stress; irrigation causes mushy growth and bloom failure
- Coneflower — Tall sturdy blooms attract pollinators all summer in dry soil; overwatering weakens stems and invites fungal disease
- Blanket flower — Non-stop red-and-gold blooms in poor dry ground; rich wet conditions shorten lifespan dramatically
- Russian sage — Silvery stems and lavender clouds thrive in heat and drought; moist soil causes flopping and root death
- Catmint — Dense purple spikes rebloom hard after cutting back in dry soil; wet feet cause dieback and sparse flowering
- Lantana — Vibrant color clusters bloom heaviest in hot dry conditions; too much water promotes leaf growth over flowers
