Drought Tolerant Landscape Plants

When mother nature doesn’t provide enough rainfall to keep our gardens green and lush, we all know we need to head outdoors and give our plants a good drink of water ourselves. Of course, some plants are a little more drought tolerant than others, something you may want to consider when planting your garden. Even if mother nature provides us with ample rainfalls, we usually have to water our flowers during the hot summer months anyways. The experts at Fairview Greenhouses and Garden Center have come up with a list of plants that are a little more drought tolerant than others. We often carry many of these plants, but it is best to call to check for availability, 919-851-6821. Enjoy!
