Opting for drought-tolerant plants reduces the need for endless watering in summer, which – let's face it – can turn into a bit of a slog. Choosing them doesn't mean you need to sacrifice on aesthetics, either, as there are plenty of beautiful, blooming options.
There's a growing garden trend for more sustainable planting schemes, and these tougher options fit the bill perfectly. With hotter summers and hosepipe bans becoming more common, drought-tolerant plants are a smart choice to future-proof our gardens. What's more, many have additional benefits, such as being wildlife-friendly.
