Drought or not, you can have beautiful landscaping, healthy plants and water savings once most plants are established, especially if you choose these plants and use good practices. These water-wise plants, once established (usually 2 seasons), deliver both water savings and drought tolerance. They are not the same thing as good water conservation practices that are always in fashion, drought conditions or not. These practices are captured in all our high desert fact sheets, especially our “What is Drought Tolerant” fact sheet.
