Do you loathe standing at the end of a hose? Does trying to fathom an irrigation system make your head ache? Is a structured, architectural look for you? Or maybe you’d just like to add a pointy, vertical accent to your existing drought tolerant landscape. If any of these queries has crossed your mind, then you should spend some time in our xeric section. Of course, many of the plants featured in our regular shrub and perennial areas are extremely drought tolerant already, but due to a heartfelt concern for your success as a gardener and a wish to keep puncture wounds at a low, we thought it prudent to contain plants of this nature in one general area. And so, with your guard up and your potential water bill down, please proceed to the center of the nursery. Our xeric section features a wide and varied array of yuccas, agaves, cacti, and sedums as well as a few hard to find water-phobic shrubs and perennials to choose from. Noting the heights, widths, and sun requirements labeled on each pot, you’re bound to find something that works for you. After you have made your selection, you may then want to peruse our stock of thick leather gloves!
