@plantsnap: Tired of dragging the hose round all summer? 🌿 Usually it's the plants, not you: most borders are filled with plants from wet places. Pick ones from dry, sunny hillsides instead: silver leaves like lavender, cotton lavender, lamb's ears, Russian sage and Jerusalem sage, flowers like catmint, salvia, yarrow, sea holly and sedum, and evergreen shapes like rosemary, euphorbia, rock rose, blue fescue and thyme. Plant in autumn or spring, soak them in dry spells for the first year, and top the soil with gravel. Beth Chatto's famous gravel garden, planted on an old car park in 1992, has never been watered since. Best in sun and free-draining soil; on heavy clay or in very wet areas, choose differently. Save this for planting day, and ask Flora in PlantSnap which ones suit your garden. #droughttolerant #gravelgarden #lowmaintenancegarden #gardendesign #gardentok #plantsnap
