Drought resistant shrubs offer you low-maintenance curb appeal. Using species that are either native to Texas or non-invasive to our area is ecologically wise. In some ways it helps restore elements of our original, indigenous ecosystem. It also works very well for conservation by requiring Houston residents to use far less water than would normally be needed to maintain their curb appeal during our long, hot summers.To understand what these shrubs actually are, we have to get a good, sound grasp on what it means to be “resistant” to drought. The term is used loosely, and in several different ways, by a variety of landscaping designers and garden experts. To quibble over definitions is pointless. Essentially, what we are talking about in practical terms is the ability of a shrub to either protect itself against dehydration or store water within itself in a way that minimizes dehydration.
