Drought Tolerant 12 plant collection

Head Nurseryman and Gold medal winning planting designer Mike has conceived some border collections using his style of plants which take away the difficulty in choosing the right plants for the right place, and to guide in designing a specific look for your borders. The collection will also represent a saving over buying the plants individually.

This drought Tolerant Border collection comprises of a range of plants usually native to dry regions of the world such the Mediterranean that have evolved to thrive & survive in dry soils with little rainfall. They are also useful for a sunny border in full sun with a free draining soil & work well in some low maintenance planting schemes such as gravel or scree gardens.

With climate change & the increasing long hot spells we are now experiencing use of these selected plants will mean that you can still have an attractive garden, whilst using less water & losing less of your plants to the conditions. One thing to note though, this does not mean these type of plants can be planted and then left, they gain their drought tolerance once established so must be kept watered initially until that point!

This set will contain a mix of 4 x Grasses, 8 x flowering perennials.

The 12 Plants will be carefully chosen from the following selected varieties.

Perennials: Agastache, Crocosmia, Cirsium, Delosperma, Echinops, Erigeron, Gypsophila, Knautia, Phlomis, Salvia, Kniphofia, Nepeta, Eryngium, Verbascum, Verbena.
