Drought Resistant Annuals Inclues Flowers In Landscape Design --
Most people want at least some flowers in their Houston landscaping design. If you are among this group, consider using drought resistant annuals in some portions of your yard. Perennial blooms will form the foundation for your design which will remain consistent, year after year. Annuals, on the other hand, can be varied each new year as part of a landscape maintenance agreement--adding variety and interest to the curb appeal of your property.

Annuals that are resistant to dry weather will save you money by adding low-maintenance coloration to key areas in your yard. Because they have evolved to depend only on local rainfall, they do not require daily watering. Native plants especially can endure a summer month or two without needing much, if any, city water to survive. The next time Houston limits the use of water due to drought; such plants can maintain your yards aesthetic no matter what is happening in yards along your street. This is definitely a point to consider if you are planning to list your home on the market and want to make sure that your curb appeal is maintained regardless of what the local weather is doing.
