Some plants are well adapted to climates with low summer rainfall. Gardeners can use these drought tolerant plants where there is limited supplemental water available. Bear in mind that even dryland plants may need extra water during prolonged dry periods and until well established. Plants grown in containers will always require supplemental water.
The native habitat of these plants include dry summer areas such as those found in the the American West and Southwest, the Mediterranean basin, and open and mountainous areas of South Africa and South America.
