Then I realized how strong flowers are
They are like tenderness, like love, like children -
Stronger than evil, stronger than anything in the world,
Stronger than death and stronger than war.

Flowers are a decoration for the yard, but they require a thoughtful approach from the gardener both to the arrangement of flower beds and edgings, and to the combination of plants. In many cases, due to weather conditions, there is not enough moisture, and we, always busy and in a hurry, do not have the opportunity to water the flower beds enough times. Not every plant is able to fully survive in such extreme conditions. But there is a way out, and this way out is drought-resistant plants.
Drought-resistant flowers, herbs and ornamental shrubs thrive even on soils with minimal moisture content and are not at all happy with soil saturated with moisture. If there is too much moisture, drought-resistant plants can become sick or even die.
Of course, site drainage can come to the rescue here. This is a troublesome and costly matter, but without it there is no way. The topic of drainage is the topic of a separate article.
Annuals
The ease of caring for annuals, their ability to add new colors to the flower garden every year, the most amazing forms and their inexhaustible variety have and will continue to attract flower growers.
Among the flowering annuals, we can recommend the following plants for a drought-resistant garden:
- Zinnia– an annual flowering plant with a height of 30 to 90 cm. The leaves are located opposite each other, the stem and leaves are rigidly pubescent. It blooms in temperate latitudes from June to frost, the inflorescence is a basket, there are a wide variety of shades, the seeds have time to ripen and do not lose their germination for 2-4 years. Based on two types of zinnias - graceful and narrow-leaved, many varieties have now been bred for growing in flower beds.
- Rudbeckia- annual or perennial flowering plant. The leaves are oval below, lanceolate above. The flower is a basket with tubular and reed flowers. The tubular flowers form a brown tubercle, characteristic of this species. The flowers are daisy-like, usually yellow or orange color. The seeds are tetrahedral, small.
- Cosmos- a tall flowering plant imported from South America. The leaves are twice pinnately dissected, giving the plant an openwork appearance. The flowers are large, on long bare stems, the color ranges from white or pale pink to purple. The seeds ripen very well and reproduce by self-sowing.
- Decorative types sunflower (Helianthus annuus) – annual tall plant, up to 2.5 m. The leaves are heart-shaped, arranged alternately. The stem and leaves are rigidly pubescent, the flower is a basket with dark tubular flowers and yellow petal flowers. The seeds are wedge-shaped, smooth, slightly pubescent.
- Decorative poppy (Papaver rhoeas) – an annual plant that has many varieties with varied colors. This light-loving plant is planted in separate group plantings on a lawn or flower bed, as well as in a group of different varieties.

Ground cover plants
These drought-tolerant perennials are low-growing, up to a maximum of 35 cm, and very attractive. Forming dense, growing clumps, they are perfect for alpine hills and rocky gardens. They tolerate bright sun very well. Light, low-moisture soils suit them best. The list of sun-loving perennials can be long:
- Juvenile (Sempervivum): cobwebby, hybrid, roofing, offspring - they all form dense rosettes of purple or green color. In summer large flowers Pinkish, yellowish, red colors look impressive against this background.
- Sedums (Sedum)- amazing variety of shapes and colors. The leaves are yellowish, green, purple. The flowers are crimson, orange, yellow, pink. They bloom from June to August and form extensive thickets.
- Carnation (Dianthus), well, what would we do without her? Dianthus grass and glaucous, with simple flowers or with terry ones of stunningly beautiful colors - from white-pink to raspberry-red.
- Arabis- a low creeping plant with rooting stems. Can be annual or perennial. The leaves are pubescent, the flowers are white, yellow or pink, double or not, in inflorescences on a stalk. The fruit is a pod.

- Rock alyssum (Alyssum saxatile)- a plant of the steppe hills and mountains of Siberia. A small herbaceous shrub with woody shoots. The leaves are ovoid, heavily pubescent, with a gray tint. The flowers are yellow and form a raceme. It requires calcium-rich soil.
- Saxifraga (Saxifraga)– a perennial plant with a well-developed root system. The flowers look like a star and form inflorescences. The leaves are thick, with a glossy, leathery sheen, and exude lime along the leaf margins. Thickets of saxifrage form turf covers.
- Phlox subulata- a plant with recumbent shoots and prickly sharp leaves, forming evergreen turf coverings. It blooms very profusely, flowers of various shades. Grows well on rocky soils, hills and mountainous surfaces.
- Tomentosum (Cerastium tomentosum)- a herbaceous plant up to 30 cm tall, with white flowers collected in corymbose inflorescences. The leaves are silver-green and have a pubescent edge. Lives in mountainous and hilly areas.
- Mesembryanthemum- an annual or biennial creeping or creeping succulent up to 15 cm high. The flowers resemble daisies and open at noon. Vitrified cells in the form of dew drops are visible on the top of the stems.

Perennials
The list of drought-resistant perennials can be continued. Unpretentious and hardy, they feel great in the sun and grow well between the stones of alpine hills and rockeries:
- Wormwood (Artemisia)- a perennial herbaceous semi-shrub plant with a tart, bitter aroma of shoots. The leaves are green to silver-gray, dissected. Flowers are in racemose or paniculate inflorescences, the fruit is an achene.
- Euphorbia (Euphorbia)- a perennial herbaceous or shrubby plant. In addition to seeds, it reproduces by root shoots. All representatives have a milky juice on the cut, which is very poisonous. The flowers are single or collected in rosettes, the inflorescence is surrounded by some kind of glass.
- Yarrow (Achillea) –perennial plant with baskets with many flowers, it would be more correct to say “milliflora”. Widely used in folk medicine, stems up to 50 cm high. Yarrow extracts sulfur from the soil and distributes it throughout the area.
- Lavender– has a wonderful aroma; its purple thickets can beautifully decorate garden paths.
- Daylily (Hemerocallis)- a plant with tall arrows, at the ends of which there are flowers - has great diversity and is completely unpretentious.

Drought-tolerant grasses
Designing a flower garden without herbs and grains cannot be considered complete. From decorative drought-resistant grasses you can plant:
- Byzantine Chistina (Stachys byzantina)- a bluish-green plant with fluffy leaves.
- Elimus– another name is grate. An unpretentious herbaceous plant, usually propagated by shoots from the rhizome. The inflorescence forms a panicle, reminiscent of an ear of rye or wheat, and is stored dried on the stem for a long time.
- Gray fescue (Festuca glauca)- a perennial plant up to half a meter tall. The rhizomes are creeping, the inflorescences form panicles with spikelets, the fruit is a caryopsis. The leaves are lanceolate and can range from green to silver in color.
- Phalaroides- a perennial grass up to 120 cm high with striped linear leaves. It blooms with spikelets collected in panicles. The leaves don't droop even from severe frosts. Usually, with the help of vegetative shoots from the rhizome, it grows very strongly and can become a difficult weed.

These herbs will add charm to your flower garden, giving it sophistication and attractiveness.
tall plants
First of all, among tall drought-resistant plants I would like to note decorative bow, mallow. Each of these plants is beautiful in its own way. Double flowers Stock roses captivate your heart with their richness of shades - from burgundy to snow-white. Mallow blooms all summer - from June until almost frost. And these plants grow up to two meters in height.
The decorative onion Allium is not far behind them. Its spherical inflorescences of pink and white shades rise up to one hundred and seventy centimeters.
Yellow is the color of the sun, and for good reason yellow flowers are a symbol of joy and happiness. They bring warmth to every corner of the garden...
Drought-resistant shrubs
It is often very difficult when building a landscape to do without ornamental shrubs. Shrubs are the note that makes the garden truly sound, giving completeness and visual completeness to the landscaping of the territory, on which you have put so much of your strength, your imagination, your desire for beauty.
Cossack juniper (Juniperus sabina) out of competition. Doesn't need additional care, withstands quite well unfavourable conditions. Attractive, evergreen, one can say about this shrub that if there are charismatic plants, then this is about it. Juniper with its presence brings special charm and beauty to the landscape.
Euonymus (Euonymus)- a beautiful, very bright, even somewhat picturesque shrub. It is difficult to take your eyes off the euonymus surrounded by properly selected low-growing plants. In the summer months, its openwork, dark green foliage attracts, but autumn comes, and the crown of the bush is engulfed in such a riot of colors that you can’t take your eyes off it. Many of its species are quite drought-resistant. This applies to, and others.
A good example unpretentiousness and drought resistance is barberry (Berberis). Yellow and bright red leaves adorn the long, thorny branches. Barberry loves the sun and feels great under its rays. Details of caring for this shrub can be found here Euonymus
- Carefully consider which plants should grow nearby. Under no circumstances should a drought-resistant plant be planted next to a moisture-loving one. It will be very difficult to organize watering.
- When planting plants, you should establish the correct distance between them. For plants that like to grow too much, root limiters should be used - plant them in containers without a bottom, buried in the ground; the horizontal spread of roots will not be further than expected.
- Such flower beds should be watered rarely, but abundantly.
Under sun rays perennials bloom with special splendor and beauty. The choice of their species and varieties is large enough so that every gardener can find plants of the color, shape and flowering period that suit him.
The most successful places for many abundantly flowering garden perennials- open to the sun.
Here such noble long-flowered flowers as lilies, peonies and phlox can show themselves in all their glory. They tolerate short-term daytime shade quite calmly, but longer shading and even openwork shade from trees and shrubs seriously affect their prosperity.
Large, lushly flowering breeding varieties of sun-loving perennials are especially sensitive in this regard. For them, the most optimal are ridges with fertile and sufficiently moist soils.
The design of sunny areas depends entirely on your taste and, of course, on the actual capabilities of your garden. Small flower beds in the front garden can be decorated no less impressively than an elongated one garden path a ridge, a “ribbon” of perennials along the border of the garden or a flower island in the center of the lawn.
In any case, it is very important to skillfully combine plants according to their growth. Such tall and lush-flowering crops as rosemary, mallow and lupine are most advantageous in the “far” section of the flowerbed. Their flower stalks will rise above the shorter crops in the foreground, which in turn will cover the bases of their shoots.
We offer you an approximate diagram of a flower bed with perennials:
1. Miscanthus - Miscanthus sinensis.
2. Annual three-cut malope, or hole - Malope trifida.
3. Hybrid yarrow variety - Achillea "Schwefelbluete".
4. Campanula lactiflora.
5. Perovskia wormwood - Perovskia abrotanoides.
6. Annual hybrid of verbena - Verbena.
7. Sedum-squeaky, or hare cabbage - Sedum telephium (before flowering).
9. Foxtail featherweed - Pennisetum alopecuroides (before the appearance of flower stalks).
10. Louis's wormwood - Artemisia ludoviciana.
11. Hybrid variety of yarrow - Achillea "Lachsschoenheit".
12. Hybrid shrub aster - Aster dumosus (before flowering).
13. Hybrid coreopsis - Coreopsis.
14. Fassen's catnip - Nepeta fassenii "Six Hills Giant".
15. Himalayan geranium - Geranium himalayense.
16. Annual fragrant tobacco - Nicotiana.
17. Santolina chamaecyparissus.
Of course, you can replace some flowers with your favorite ones, because this is an approximate option... and extend the flowering season by sunny flowerbed possible with the help of such attractive autumn-flowering crops as sedum, garden chrysanthemums or autumn asters.
Most perennials will bloom again in the fall if they are pruned in a timely manner after the main flowering period. Such plants include delphinium, stenactis, catnip And scabious.
The choice of spring sun-loving perennials is somewhat smaller. They bloom in April rezukha, meadow lumbago And Adonis. They are joined in May day-lily, catnip And peony.
You can enrich your spring palette with such bulbous plants as narcissus,tulip And grouse. Since bulbous crops become unattractive after flowering, they should not be planted in the foreground of garden beds.
An easier-to-maintain option for a large flower garden is a sunny lawn. Wild perennials - cornflower, yarrow,meadow sage- thrive here in colorful company with herbaceous plants. Such lawns are sown with a special seed mixture or individual crops are planted on an existing lawn.
Examples of compositions from sun-loving perennials:
Cascades of flowers
Thanks to a well thought out fit geranium, sedum and mantle receive the same amount of sunlight as tall mallow(Malva sylvestris) in the background.

Drought-resistant flowers for flower beds - best option growing on sunny area in the southern regions. Such heat-resistant and dry-resistant decorative foliage and beautiful flowering plants Ideal for dry areas in areas characterized by high temperatures and insufficient precipitation.
Drought-resistant plants: general characteristics and care features
Any garden and indoor plants, as well as ornamental perennials and bushes, capable of living in conditions characterized by a severe lack of water and very resistant to drought - xerophytes. The most famous subgroups of such plants are represented by:
- plants that avoid soil aridity or ephemerals. They have the shortest growing season, timed to coincide with the period of active natural precipitation;
- plants that actively store moisture or false xerophytes. The names of the members of this subgroup are known as succulents, which have thick and fleshy stems or leaves;
- plants with a very well-developed ability to obtain moisture using a highly branched root system;
- plants that grow in arid areas and tolerate lack of moisture in a state of suspended animation. Such sclerophytes are characterized by a relatively low water content.
