Sunny border, drought collection
A collection of drought tolerant plants that is perfect for a sunny border^. Low maintenance, they will need little attention apart from watering in year one as they establish. It includes shrubs for structure and flowering plants that provide colour all year round. You can create different colour themes by changing the plants that die back each year. Shrubs are best planted in autumn or spring and perennial flowering plants are ideally planted in spring, once the worst of the winter weather has passed.
