- Corkbark Fir
- Balsam Fir
- Grand Fir
- Oregon White Oak
- Western Hemlock
- Deodar Cedar
- Huckleberry (also tolerates shade)
- Oregon Grape

Comfrey leaves and flowers. I love how a freshly torn comfrey leaf smells like cucumber. #Wisconsin #Mazomanie #DroughtTolerant #Comfrey #GardenersOfMastodon #PlantSmells

@bastianallgeier From California: There is lots of information on drought-tolerant plants and gardening techniques available from our University of California Cooperative Extension service.
I know this is designed for the various California biomes, but it might be of help. We have had a a lot of "practice."

This is one of my #NativePlant beds. It has #LambsEar #StachysByzantina - #EdiblePlant
I highly recommend #growing this #herbaceous #perennial #plant if you're in #zone8 or seeking some #HeatTolerant & #DroughtTolerant plants. It can withstand high heat & long periods without water - resilient plant.

The #Coreopsis is blooming. The foliage on this is nice enough, but the flowers are a nice bonus. #DroughtTolerant #CANativePlants #ClimateDiary

After the rain (or between…more due later today) the yard greens out and the narcissus pokes it’s head out. I’m glad to have interplanted them with the native buckwheat.
