You'll need to supply water at first to get even drought-tolerant annuals established, but once they are well rooted, these flowers are naturals at water conservation.

Want to trim your bed with a collar of colorful lace? Annuals that stay naturally neat and low do a great job and they're not hard to grow.

Most ground covers are at their worse in the winter. Ivy, juniper and periwinkle do a good job of keeping their good looks year round but most look pretty ragged once winter sets in. Still, they'll hang in with you well into the fall and make a grand entrance first thing in spring.

These plants are bushy and vigorous, and they produce beautiful blooms with lots of lush roliage.

These are the best choices to grow as hedges or plant along fences. They bloom heavily in late spring or early summer, and can be coaxed to rebloom with careful pruning and appropriate fertilizer.
