Plants that need little water

 


Hi everyone,

Any advice on what summer plants I can put in a tub that'll be in the
sun but
won't get much watering - long story I won't bore you with but I
could really do
with some advice.  So far I've drawn a blank. Cheers,
Steve

Porchulaca (sp). I have heard some call it prim rose too. Bright
flowers and very little water.

First time poster here; YES, portulaca thrives on neglect, and dies in a
spot with other plants getting plenty of water, I've learned.  Pretty,
cheerful, vibrant color.  Downright promiscuous bloomers all season long.

 I grew up with Porchulaca but sadly it is not about.  A remedial is in
order.

 Looks edible too. Sorry I can answer your specific query  but I am
grateful for the look about.

Portulaca has succulent foliage, abd will do well with little water -
any succulent will, and there are many.  Zinnias, once established, seem
to largely shrug off drought conditions, but will need watering once in
a while. There are many others, too.
