| im kind of concerned about drought this year because during spring and fall it rained a whole lot and i thought about it. it kind of made me think of a pattern that may happen. It raind more in october than it ever has in my city. behind all this rain do you think there could be a drought? like the skies have dropped all the rain it could and now has nothing left to give. but idk. this is me just wondering. its winter and all but still.
bottom line-what are some good drought resistant plants? |

| Ask your local water company for a list of plants suitable for xeriscaping in your town. It varies from region to region. |

| For some ideas, go to www.mswn.com, they are based here in arizona, might even have growing yards in texas but supply to texas with a wiiiidddeee variety of drought tolerant plants, im sure they are likely to pop in local nurseries by you. Good luck! |

| Hi Joshlyn: I'm a new member so I hope my info is not to late to help you with your plant selection? In SW Florida these are the most commonly used drought tolerant plants: FLOWERING: (common name) NON-FLOWERING: (common name) On the web there are many sites to see these plants and find local suppliers in your area. Good Luck!
