Xeriscaping Shrubs FAQs

Choosing Xeric Shrubs and Hedges For Your Garden

Choosing shrubs that are good for your landscape is easy! Browse for shrubs that need little water once established by first looking up your Planting Zone using our USDA zone filters. Then choose sun exposure levels!

Then it comes down to finding the shrub size and type you want in your garden! Do you need a groundcover shrub? Erosion control? Privacy? Or just pretty flowers? Nature Hills has it!

Caring For Water-Frugal Shrubs

Learn how to support your shrubs to ensure they are established and can handle about anything that comes their way!

  • Ensure the proper amount of shade/sun
  • Most of these shrubs do best in well-drained soil
  • Create raised gardens or berms if you have poor drainage.
  • Provide a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch over the root system to hold in moisture better
  • Check out the Plants Description for pruning and other care requirements
  • Water new plants regularly using the Finger Test to help them get established during their first year. Deep watering, less frequently forces roots to grow deeper in search of moisture.

What Makes A Shrub Drought-Tolerant or Xeric?

These tough plants have what it takes to survive and thrive in dry conditions!

  • Shrubs with fuzzy or waxy leaves that resist evaporation
  • Bushes with deep extensive root systems
  • Shrubs that can hold water in their stems, leaves, or roots
  • Plants with small leaves that reduce surface area (less evaporation!)
  • Native shrubs that have evolved and are adapted to arid hot climates with little rainfall
