High Country Gardens, Drought Tolerant Plants, Xeriscape Perennials

I hope that sharing my insights on waterwise gardening will help you grow your own spectacular gardens.

Below, you will find the easy to grow, low-care perennials featured in my DVD:Spectacular Seasons of Color with Waterwise Gardening. These quality plants are organized by blooming seasons, and can be ordered from our High Country Gardens catalog.

Before you begin planting, be sure to review the Eight Principles of Waterwise Landscaping outlined in the DVD. Here's a reminder of two important principles:

1. You should add organic matter in the form of compost whenever you plant. At HIGH COUNTRY GARDENS, we use and recommend Yum Yum Mix® and Soil Mender® Compost products.

2. Plant native turf grasses instead of Kentucky Blue Grass. Legacy® Buffalo and Blue Grama Grasses are excellent drought-tolerant alternatives.
