If you live in an area with hot and arid summers, low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plants are a win-win. Plants that can thrive with minimal fuss enable your garden to look gorgeous throughout extended dry spells, without any extra effort from you.
Plants that are adapted to a hot, dry climate will cope better in extreme heat. They'll require less watering too; important if there is a ban in your area. No-one wants to see their plants scorched and suffering in the heat. Or to have to constantly tend to them when there's been no rainfall for weeks.
