Planning for Desert Landscaping
If you live in a dry and arid climate then your
desert landscaping is going to take a little more planning than some
other parts of the country. desert landscaping will have to work
with a plan that includes only plants and trees that can survive
with much less water than some other plants. There is no point in
planting something if it can not sustain itself afterwards. So take
some time with your desert landscaping plan and make sure that you
have done everything suited to the climate.
You could spend the money to get better irrigation put in but the
money will be great and the time will be all consuming. It is much
simpler for your desert landscaping plan to just include plants that
will thrive even in the hot sun all day.
What makes using desert landscaping friendly plants so great is that
not only will these plants do well even in the hot sun they will
also be able to thrive in poor quality soil. This is a much needed
quality because places that have so much sun tend to have poor soil
as well. So in essence you are killing two birds with one stone as
they say.
Here are some wonderful plants that you can use in your desert
landscaping:
Longwood Blue bluebeard
This is a shrub, it is deciduous and it will grow back each and
every spring. It will always come back healthy and happy and this
makes it perfect for desert landscaping. It is not a tiny shrub, it
will grow to be anywhere between 3 and 4 feet high with a width of
about 2 feet. This is a lovely plant to use in your desert
landscaping as it is not only beautiful with its pretty blue flower
clusters and silver foliage, it is also very fragrant.
Autumn Joy
This is a wonderful perennial that you can plant for your desert
landscaping. With this choice you will have great leaves in pretty
whorls. These leaves can be any number of different colors and can
be bought to go with any desert landscaping design. This plant is
the ultimate for desert landscaping because it can grow in rock
gardens with ease. This lovely desert landscaping plant also has a
unique and interesting flower unlike any other I have ever seen.
These small flowers grow in clusters and they can be a few different
colors and shades. The most common are yellow, orange and red and
pink. If you plant these in your garden you will have butterflies
around all of the time and they make for lovely entertainment on
their own.
