	Drought Tolerant Plants for North and Central Florida
		Drought tolerant plants are also an important component of "xeriscapes," landscapes designed to conserve water, because drought tolerant plants typically use less water than other plants.
		Plants that have been grown in shade or in a well-watered environment may experience drought stress when moved into full sunlight or arid environments because the plants have been acclimated to having relatively large amounts of water available.
		Drought can be defined as the absence of rainfall or irrigation for a period of time sufficient to deplete soil moisture and injure plants.

	Drought tolerant and resistant California native plants.
		Drought resistant plant, drought tolerant plant, drought adapted plant, low -water- use plant, are all terms garden, landscape and nursery persons use to describe whatever plant they think is the drought tolerant of the month (in flower of course!).
		It's really easy to plant a garden with native plants that are very drought tolerant (they lived there long before you showed up with a garden hose) and look very good, especially with a few sprinkles with the hose.
		Most truly drought tolerant plants hate drip irrigation.

	Plant Geneticist Identifies Drought - Tolerant Gene
		He has licensed his discovery to Kingston-based Performance Plants, a small biotechnology company working on a drought-tolerant strain of canola, one of Canada's leading export crops.
		"Drought is obviously a problem for farmers worldwide; these genetically engineered plants will be able to wait out periods of drought without dying." In October, he co-authored a paper in the journal Science outlining his discovery.
		These possibilities are a step closer, thanks to a U of T professor's isolation of the gene that controls drought tolerance in plants.

	Floridata: Drought Tolerant Plants
		A plant is drought tolerant if it can survive a dry spell of more than 2 or 3 months without supplemental watering.
		To reduce the need for supplemental irrigation in your landscape, choose drought tolerant plants.
		This means that most native plants from regions that occasionally experience 2-3 months without rain (most of the continental US, for example), are drought tolerant.

	Drought Tolerant Plants
		Tough plants are required for these tough times. These heat- and drought-tolerant varieties include trees, shrubs, groundcovers, perennials, annuals and even some fruiting plants. Some are native, some are not and some can survive on natural rainfall once established.
		The list below is not all-inclusive, but the plants represent some of the most drought-tolerant plants available in the nursery trade. One category listed identifies drought-tolerant plants that have been known to experience significant problems and should probably be used sparingly.
		Granted, in periods of extended drought like we are experiencing, the plants will not look as lush as during normal rainfall periods and production of flowers and fruit will be diminished. However, with liberal use of mulch, and infrequent but deep irrigation, homeowners should be able to create and sustain quality landscapes using these plants.

	Plants of the Southwest
		Presented here for your joy and independance - from extensive watering, fertilizing and mowing - are beautiful, powerful Southwestern plants.
		Seeds are more likely to thrive, if tucked just under the soil, then plants, because seeds wait for their ideal conditions before growing.
		The baby trees, prickly and blue, are there in the duff right now and they, and any you plant, are safe for more than a dozen years.

	Hebe cultivar Blue Gem
		Whatever the confusion surrounding its origins, the result is an easily propagated, salt-tolerant shrub with tidy foliage that produces a constant display of fragrant violet-blue flowers fading almost to white.
		Once established Hebe 'Blue Gem' is reasonably drought tolerant and provides a dense cover, conserving soil moisture, while providing an important habitat for 'small brown birds'.
		Plant material collected during Captain James Cook's 18th century Pacific voyages was grown-on in England.

	Alabaster plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Alabaster plant serves as excellent drought-tolerant groundcover to replace common forms of Ice plant and is ideal for succulent or rock gardens.
		The Alabaster plant (Dudleya virens), also known as the Island live-forever, is an uncommon species of perennial, succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae.
		The interesting, finger-like leaves of this plant are fleshy and strap-shaped, tapering from the base (or from near middle) and are mostly green.

	Shrimp plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The shrimp plant is a common ornamental shrub and does best in well-drained sandy or loamy soil, but is generally low maintenance and drought-tolerant.
		The shrimp plant (Justicia brandegeana) is an evergreen perennial shrub with spindly limbs, oval green leaves, and white flowers extending from red bracts which look a bit like shrimp--hence the shrub's common name.
		The bush is native to North America, thrives in the shade in tropical areas, and can be propagated by stem cuttings.

	Iris Planting Guide and Iris Gardening Guide
		The point is, that the Iris plant is very tolerant of abuse, drought resistant, and, by the way, they are deer resistant!
		We did not plant the Iris for over three months and were not sure if they were still alive when a family member volunteered to plant Iris rhizomes for us.
		We lost about half of the Iris I planted in the wet area, some due to root rot and others that never established due to the poor quality of plants.

	Local Interest
		Deeply rooted in the soil, prairie plants are adapted to cold and heat, flood and drought, tolerant to extremes.
		This characteristic of prairie plants created some of the richest soils in all the world and in the past 100 years, it has produced food and fuel for millions.
		The plant's stiff, sandpaper-like leaves grow large, as well, and have mini leaves along a central structure.

	Ice plant
		Ice plants are often used in southwestern landscapes because they are very interesting, drought-tolerant plants that produce beautiful flowers all summer.
		They are called ice plant because they have bladder-like hairs on the leaf surface that reflect and refract light in a manner to make it appear that they sparkle like ice crystals.
		Since the name ice plant is a "common name" rather that a scientific name, it is applied to many different plants that may appear to sparkle.

	The Balcony Gardener - the Floracle
		Liriope are somewhat tolerant of drought and therefore make a good container plant for those who are forgetful about watering.
		Liriope enjoy either sun, partial shade, or full shade, but protect the plant from cold, drying winds.
		Sow liriope seeds outdoors in containers, or you can purchase the plant or divide an existing plant to create more.

	Plant Answers
		When well established the plants are very drought tolerant, and continue to produce bright and attractive blooms in the hottest of weather.
		However, some folks don't want to wait for the hotter days of summer to cause plants to resprout and for the impatient types, I recommended that Firebush be used as an annually planted plant.
		As a rule, it takes at least 5 to 7 plants of a variety to create the desired effect in small areas and greater numbers in larger areas (check with local nurserymen who sell transplants by the flat for a reduced cost).

	Proteaceae Floral Crops: Cultivar Development and Underexploited Uses
		Established plants are fairly drought tolerant, and over-watering contributes to loss of plants because the wet conditions favor Phytophthora cinnamomi infection.
		Plants generally range in height from 2 to 5 m, are sparsely branched, and flower from early winter through late spring (Robelo 1995).
		Established plants tolerate a temperature range from 3° to 24°C. Plants are spaced at 1.5 to 3 m in rows with 3 m between rows (Dennis 1991).

	DRACAENA
		Dracaena is fairly drought tolerant, thanks to the distinct wet and dry seasons in its native habitat.
		Common names include "red edge dracaena" and "dragon tree", but in the trade the plant is generally referred to by its Latin name.
		The plant has woody stems, with narrow, sword-like leaves.

	Get The Best of The Blues: Part 2: Perennials
		It prefers full sun, but will grow in any average soil, is drought tolerant, and so hardy that it's often planted along roadways.
		But as I discussed in my last article, "Get The Best of The Blues: Part 1: Annuals", getting plants with flowers that are that true rich shade of blue that's such a perfect foil for reds, yellows, and whites can be problematical, as many plants that are described as blue actually aren't.
		Bugle plant (Ajuga reptans) is one of my spring-flowering favourites.
