Replace Your Thirsty Lawn with Colorful Combinations of Drought Tolerant Flowers

The key to a successful garden lies in both identifying your garden’s growing conditions and then in choosing plants that will thrive in those conditions.

  • Trying to force a plant to work in the wrong place just leads to frustration. 
  • Choosing the right plant for the right place will ensure that your garden is happy and in turn makes you happy as well.
