Choose drought-tolerant perennial flowers like lavender, yarrow, and coneflower. Group plants with similar water needs together for efficient watering and maintenance.
Install a drip irrigation system to deliver water directly to the plant roots, minimizing water loss through evaporation and runoff. Consider using a timer for automated watering.
Prepare the soil by adding organic matter to improve water retention. Mulch the garden beds to reduce evaporation and suppress weeds, helping conserve moisture.
Regularly deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding. Divide overcrowded plants every few years to maintain their health and vigor.
Monitor the garden for signs of pests and diseases, addressing any issues promptly to prevent widespread damage. Prune plants as needed to maintain their shape and encourage new growth.
Enjoy a beautiful and sustainable perennial flower garden that thrives with minimal watering and upkeep, providing long-lasting beauty and ecological benefits to your outdoor space.
