Tip: plants for dry and sunny places

Table of contents

When choosing plants for your garden, it is worth inquiring about their natural environment and climate, and then using a suitable substrate and cultivation.The external features show the natural conditions in which the plant lives.

And so plants from sunny and dry locations usually have a compact habit, strong stems, small leaves, reduced or scaly, or evergreen, leathery and thickened.

These plants are able to manage water and protect themselves from the sun. Transpiration in them is limited by a dense and thick skin, wax coating, and a layer of resin or calcium. In addition, they usually have a skin covered with thick, gray-green, silvery or white hairs.Sometimes the leaves are also covered with spines. Their root system is usually very extensive.

Drought is not afraid of, among others: meadowsweet and common yarrow, primrose primula, whorl, Russel's cupola, grape tritome, silky mullein, thyme, various sedum, woolly purgatory, narrow-leaved lavender, Faassen's catnip and catnip.
