bushes and plants much more attractive. However even drought tolerant requires water when extra dryness and heat are present. I try to keep my watering to once a month, but climate conditions often make that once a week and in especially dry, hot weather, it might even be more often. I'm almost considering going to succulents. That's how hard it's been in the past few years to maintain an attractive garden.
