Drought Tolerant Plant Picks

Let's pick some drought tolerant plants! Even in a generally moist climate like mine, there are warm, dry stretches in the summer - and not everyone can irrigate their entire garden. So it's useful to pick plants that can withstand a bit of drought. I've focused this video on perennials for a temperate climate, and have included the common and botanical (genus) names, as well as a general idea of their winter hardiness.

Chances are that I've missed some of your favorites. That's okay! Drop those suggestions in the comments below the video for me and other gardeners.

If you find these videos useful, there are a few little things you can do to help me out:
