Exterior Worlds can reduce your landscape maintenance by planting drought resistant perennials. These plants specialize in water conservation that allows them to endure long periods of dry weather. Few are actually desert plants in the strictest sense of the term, so they can be used with any number of Houston landscaping designs. Many are also indigenous to Texas and can be used in virtually every part of the yard to create year round world of color and form that resists extreme weather, insect predation, and troublesome plant diseases.Drought resistance is primarily determined by leaf constitution. Species in this category have evolved variegated foliage that maximizes water retention. The plants can literally store water in their leaves for long periods of time and consequently require only infrequent rainfall to replenish themselves. They have also evolved something of a limited growth mechanism in their genetic makeup. Drought resistant plants grow to a certain size and no more. Pruning is required only a few rare occasions. Otherwise, the plants basically take care of themselves and retain their desired shape free from human support.
