Xeric Gardens

Drought Smart Plants

Xeric Gardens / Dry Gardens don't necessarily have to be dusty and boring - you'll be amazed at what I can do with a few rocks and some hardy succulents and native plants. The trick is to let it grow naturally. Too contrived and confined, xeriscaping can look really, well, desert like. I prefer to give the plants room to fill in, and I always plant in drifts. That polka dot method of planting just leaves me cold. The little creatures that move in to live in the rock walls agree with me... / by Drought Smart Plants

Green Roofs and Funky Sheds

Drought Smart Plants

Green Roofs and Funky Sheds / Whether it's Sedum, Sempervivum (also known as Houseleeks - wonder why?) or grasses and forbs, your green roof will be unique and wonderful. Protecting the roof, attracting wildlife and insects, as well as buffering the heat or cold in the building below, there is no bad side to a green roof. Some of the best sheds have green roofs, others are charming and appealing in other ways; the more rustic and rugged the better! / by Drought Smart Plants
