It seems like more and more area of the rural area are experiencing fall pelting and a passing of naturally occurring moisture . These dryer conditions can spell catastrophe for plants . In this sequence we outline flora that thrive in low - water condition , which is basically every day in Steve ’s garden because he seldom remembers to water his plants ( and sometimes he forgets to plant them in the ground in the first place ) .

For once, Steve does not mention coleus in an episode, but he does sing the praises of his second favorite plant, the always stunning threadleaf blue star (Amsonia hubrichtii,Zones 5 to 8).
A terrible name for a tough-as-nails plant, ‘Crimes of Passion’ daylily (Hemerocallis‘Crimes of Passion’, Zones 3 to 9) is worthy of a spot in your garden, not relegated to a parking lot hell-strip like many other daylilies.
Donkeytail spurge (Euphorbia myrsinites,Zones 5 to 9) is evergreen, blooms in late winter, and holds its own in the driest conditions Danielle can find in her garden.
When it comes to plants, expert Stephanie Cohen doesn’t give her stamp of approval unless something has withstood several years of testing in her landscape. Russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifoliaand cvs., Zones 4 to 9) has proven to be one of her favorite water-wise selections.
