Garden flowers are always pleasing to the eye and give a good mood, but not every gardener manages to provide them with proper care, because many summer residents can visit their dachas only on weekends, or even less often. Do not despair - you can plant flowers on the site that are able to do without watering for a long time! And, it should be noted, there are many such colors
Heuchera
The unpretentiousness and bright foliage of Heuchera long ago turned it into the favorite of a huge number of gardeners. This beauty is not at all afraid of the lack of watering, moreover, she does not tolerate excess moisture at all! And its small coral flowers blooming in late spring or at the beginning of summer and sitting on long legs give this plant a special charm!
Rudbeckia
A drought-resistant plant that delights with its magnificent multi-colored flowering throughout the summer - rudbeckia buds can be either yellow, purple or pink, or orange, white or red. And the secret to the impressive drought tolerance of rudbeckia is that its thin petals with leaves minimize the process of evaporation of life-giving moisture, which allows it to always look fresh.
Katarantus
Pink periwinkle, most often called catharanthus, is also very unpretentious. Originating from distant Madagascar, it will thrive in any heat while enjoying high temperatures. And you can plant it both in the sun and in the shade, that is, almost any corner of the garden is perfect for these purposes.
Eschsholzia
North America is considered the birthplace of this luxurious beauty, or to be more precise, the regions, which are characterized by a very arid climate. So, despite its rather fragile appearance, this flower boasts stunning vitality and amazing beauty: greenish-bluish foliage is harmoniously combined with graceful orange, pink, white, red and yellow flowers.
Rose hip
Blooming rose hips, which can easily decorate even the most unattractive area, do not need watering - their luxurious flowering falls from June to August. Rosehip not only perfectly tolerates drought, but can also be successfully used to create hedges.
Zinnia
The tough leaves of zinnia, sitting on opposite sides of its strong stems, evaporate moisture to a minimum, making this crop feel great in the bright sun. And its magnificent flowering is simply impossible not to admire!
Armeria seaside
This plant is completely uneasy about dry weather and rocky soils, poor in nutrients! Sitting on long stems, spectacular spherical inflorescences can be colored pink, white, as well as lilac or red.
Siberian iris
The long absence of watering is not terrible for Siberian iris. True, until the freshly planted plants are fully strengthened, they need abundant watering. And then the most powerful root system of adult specimens will reliably protect a beautiful plant in dry weather - you should not refuse watering unless only in severe drought (ignoring this rule may be fraught with a complete absence of flowers).
Bell siberian
Another wonderful Siberian, not only does not need watering, but also extremely cold-resistant, growing well on absolutely any soil, and also extremely resistant to all kinds of pests and ailments. This plant will look especially good among stones in rockeries or alpine slides or in the border plantings loved by many - an elegant green "pillow" of leaves of such a bell will not leave anyone indifferent!
