Best Drought-Resistant Perennials

Penstemon

When you think of drought-resistant plants, cacti and succulents might be the first to come to mind. But perennials with showy blossoms like penstemon also fit the bill, easily withstanding drought, heat, wind and all-day sun.

You’ll find hummingbirds and bees enjoying the many native species of penstemon growing across U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zones 3 through 10. Be sure to check the plant label for hardiness before you buy, because some varieties will be annuals where you live.

Longer blooming selections like ‘Red Rocks’ and those with dark foliage like ‘Dark Towers’ are typically easy to find at garden centers in the summertime.
