Do you want a lush, green, healthy garden all year round?

Drought tolerant plants have exploded in popularity in response to ongoing drought affecting much of NSW. Perfect for green thumbs, this doesn’t mean you can just set and forget (we’re not talking cactuses here). 

Drought tolerant plants still need water and care – but they’re hardy and well-suited for the harsh Australian climate. In the same way synthetic turf is a creative approach to weather conditions, drought resistant plants let you cultivate a captivating yard month after month.

What are the best drought tolerant plants?

Without rain your garden can suffer. But don’t tear your hair out in frustration just yet, with a little planning and landscape gardening foresight you can enjoy a green garden from January to December.

The plants you choose will vary based on your soil and local climate (which is why it’s so important to get help from the experts).

Drought tolerant plants will typically include native Australian varieties as well as some introduced plants. Look out for defining traits such a grey or silver foliage, or small and hairy leaves. These plants are better able to survive during irregular watering patterns.

The trick to a stunning drought-tolerant yard is to choose hardy plants that also fit your garden’s aesthetic. Think agapanthus, wattle, lavender, cordyline and echium.
