Which Perennials Can Survive Drought?
Yarrow - Available in many different colors, yarrow fills in space well and looks great in mulch beds. Its fern-like leaves have a soft texture.
Sedum - With succulent-type leaves, sedums are extremely drought tolerant. Many varieties have beautiful fall colors as well.
Penstemon - Burgundy leaves and spikes of white or pink flowers make Penstemon a gorgeous choice.
Salvia - Hardy salvias come in lovely pinks and purples. They bloom in mid spring and again in the fall to attract hummingbirds.
Where to Plant Drought Perennials
The best places to plant drought perennials are spots that receive full sun and reflected heat. Near walkways, patios, and other hardscapes that don't provide any shade are ideal. Also plant them in raised beds or berms where rainfall will run off quickly. Yarrow, sedum, penstemon and salvia can handle these hot, dry conditions beautifully.
