When it comes to choosing the best plants for a dry garden, a good place to start is by selecting varieties that are drought tolerant and suit Mediterranean-style planting. Choose ones with silver and grey-green foliage that grow together naturally in hot, dry climates and you have an easy formula to follow to get the right look.
The best plants for dry gardens are the very definition of low maintenance. They grow in gravel or dry, sandy soil, need very little water, and are independent sorts - once established you really can leave them to get on with it.
