After a long hot spring and summer no doubt your garden will have suffered on some level, either a dead brown lawn, struggling shrubs or pathetic perennials. Its been a hot one that's for sure, but with some thought and planning a drought resistant garden can be achieved and its far from boring. Who doesn't dream of a low maintenance riot of colour right through the season?

The picture here is what can actually be achieved in just a few weeks, and indeed was. This was only planted in April and the photo shows the result in late July. Once established these herbaceous perennials are not only drought tolerant and looking amazing but they are a huge draw for pollinators like butterflies and lace wings. If you would like some help creating something like this for next year get in touch.
