With a little careful planning and smart choice of drought-tolerant plants, your little dry patch of land could look absolutely spectacular. To boot, most of the plants suitable for dry garden planting are also rough and resilient in general, making them easy to grow and to care for. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Drought-Tolerant Plants for a Dry Garden<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While plants that love dry conditions are not the norm, it does not mean that drought-resistant cultivars are sparse. There are many shrubs and trees that naturally occur in arid places, as well as those that have been selectively bred to flourish in such conditions. The only thing that remains is to pick out varieties that fit with your dry garden design and personal preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whichever cultivars you end up choosing for your drought-tolerant garden, you need to be aware of their watering needs when you first plant them. All plants, but especially larger and older ones, need to be well watered in for a least a year until they become established in their new home. After that, drought-tolerant plants need very little or no watering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/about-us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paramount Plants Garden Centre<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we have many attractive, drought-tolerant plants that are UK hardy.
