How to Grow & Care for Xeriscape Plants

These drought-smart plants require very little water once established, but they need a good start. Here’s how to care for them:

• Plant in well-drained soil. Amend heavy soils with sand or compost
• Choose full sun to partial shade, depending on plant needs
• Water deeply and infrequently in the first growing season to encourage deep roots
• Use the Finger Test to check for moisture needs
• Add a layer of arborist mulch to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect roots
• Once established, reduce watering dramatically; these plants are built to thrive in dry conditions

Many xeriscape selections also resist deer and pests, and they support native wildlife and pollinators.
