Over here we have the same issue of long spells of drought, but plants also need to be able to cope with longer periods of rain when we get that, so it’s not easy :-)<br />Have a good Sunday!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-81314338425687180152015-10-02T15:16:05.799-07:002015-10-02T15:16:05.799-07:00Verbena b. is a super tough plant that the pollina...Verbena b. is a super tough plant that the pollinators will love. I've never heard of 'Hummelo' being drought tolerant. I have mine in my rain garden! But it does like to be fairly well drained so it's in a spot that gets very moist but the water drains to the subsoil within a few days. Liriope has little bladders attached to the roots so it will survive whatever your drought throws at it. :o)Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-42125533651122400192015-09-30T21:07:32.208-07:002015-09-30T21:07:32.208-07:00Thank you, Christina for sharing your research wit...Thank you, Christina for sharing your research with us. I am looking for drought tolerant plants, too, as even here in 'rainy' Seattle we are suffering a drought. The garden is always evolving and it gives us new excuses to buy new plants! Right now I am very happy with my sedum and tansy, as they have survived this very dry year. I will write down your selections in my gardening journal. Wishing you a happy week in the garden! xo KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-20795672733509270142015-09-29T19:31:03.818-07:002015-09-29T19:31:03.818-07:00Drought-tolerant plants seem to be a good choice f...Drought-tolerant plants seem to be a good choice for most of us these days, but especially for you folks in California. Love the Verbena! My favorite plants are the ones that thrive in moist as well as drought conditions--especially the ones that repel rabbits! That's not asking too much, is it? ;-)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-27276531195812159912015-09-29T08:35:51.985-07:002015-09-29T08:35:51.985-07:00Kris, thanks for your detailed reply!

I am always taking notes when I see a plant on your lovely blog that I like, since you are far more advanced in choosing drought tolerant plants for your garden than I am at this point. I will also research the plants that you specifically mentioned in your comment above. I saw Watsonia and Freesia bulbs at my last visit at the nursery, but didn't get some, maybe I will reconsider. <br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-29602033497783776522015-09-28T20:37:56.222-07:002015-09-28T20:37:56.222-07:00All good choices, Christina, although I have no pe...All good choices, Christina, although I have no personal experience with that Stachys. Some people think drought tolerant equals succulents but there are lots of other choices. If you haven't already done so, you might to want to look at some of the beautiful options among the Australian and South African plants. As you may know from reading my blog, I've fallen head over heels for Grevilleas, many of which have gorgeous flowers, as well as Leucodendron, both of which are probably good choices for your area. There are also some wonderful Leptospermum available now. In the bulb category, Watsonia and Sparaxis, as well as Freesia, are good choices.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-2152050026347742492015-09-28T15:08:17.599-07:002015-09-28T15:08:17.599-07:00Me encantan tus rosas.
