What are the characteristics of drought resistant shrubs? Tx |

These bushes have leaves that have evolved various types of leaf variations and root systems that promote the circulation of water through the plant. These adaptations minimize dehydration by protecting the leaves from direct sunlight. The leaf may have a small covering of hairs, may be very small in size, or may have a variegated design that is slender and exposes minimal amounts of its surface to direct light. This, combined with better circulation, causes the shrub to retain much more of the water it absorbs than do other kinds of plants.

Where do they grow?

They grow all over the world. There are many kinds of drought resistant shrubs native to Texas, so you can do something good for local ecology and for your landscaping maintenance budget by growing indigenous species in your yard.
There are also plants that grow in many other parts of the world that can be used for any type of garden design or landscaping design that features European, early American, and modern designs.
