In you live in a hot, dry climate that is prone to droughts, like the southwest, you may consider planting a xeriscape flower garden this year. Xeriscape gardens utilize hardy, low-water plants that can handle a hot, dry climate. The main benefit of a xeriscape garden is that it preserves water by incorporating plants that are naturally suited to the geography. Many gardeners have a misconception that xeriscape flower gardens can’t be as beautiful as other types of flower gardens. That’s not true at all, and to prove our point, we’d like to introduce salvia, a tall, beautiful flower that thrives in hot, dry environments. Salvias are a flowering sage plant that blooms into spires of flowers with dozens of individual florettes. They come in a variety of colors, including rich purples, bright whites, and delicate lilacs. Out in the yard, they are known to attract bees, hummingbirds and butterflies and can make a great addition to a country style or rock garden. In a bouquet, they add height and work well as a non-standard accent flower. Xericaping doesn’t mean you have to plant a cactus garden. There are plenty of beautiful blooms, such as salvia, available at EasyToGrowBulbs.com that will thrive in hot weather without requiring lots of precious water.
