These include narrow blades (grasses) or leaves reduced in size, deep roots, leathery leaves or those covered with light hairs or a waxy coating. Succulents store water in leaves or stems; tubers and thick rhizomes provide underground water storage. Once established, these plants won’t shrivel up and die if it doesn’t rain every week.

Liatris make fantastic accent plants in summer-blooming borders and beds (appearing to best advantage when planted in groups), and they are central to any pollinator garden. The flower stalks are superb for cutting and drying, as well. Plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Depending on the species, they may tolerate moist or dry conditions.

Unlike some of its relatives, this native of marsh perimeters, meadows, and lowlands thrives in moist, fertile soils (although plants will not flourish in areas that are wet in winter). Established plants tolerate drought. While most top out at 2-4’, some rise as high as 6’, creating a towering waystation for butterflies and bees in the sunny summer garden, as well as for songbirds later in the season, who feast on the seeds.

Our favorite, upright varieties have been reclassified as \u003cem\u003eHylotelephium\u003c\/em\u003e and other genera. Sedums are succulents, having the ability to store water in their tissues and use it efficiently. These mat-forming plants occupy habitats from arid deserts and grasslands to mountain cliffs. Succulence and other adaptations (waxy coatings, purple or blue\/silver leaf coloration) allow Sedums to thrive in harsh conditions—cold, heat, wind, blazing sun, dry shallow soils. These tough, low-maintenance plants prefer average-to-poor soil and require excellent drainage. Also known as Stonecrops, they present a kaleidoscope of substantial, colorful foliage over a long season, topped by star-shaped, nectar-rich flowers for pollinators. They’re perfect drought-tolerant choices for rocky, sandy or gravelly soils in rock gardens, containers, pavement edges, stone patios, hellstrips, green roofs, and water-wise gardens of all kinds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information on growing and care, click Growing Guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White Flower Farm","offers":[{"title":"Fall","offer_id":48318752030873,"sku":"0038220-F","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/9983\/9129\/files\/44216.jpg?v=1782074018"},{"product_id":"hylotelephium-telephium-autumn-joy","title":"Hylotelephium telephium Autumn Joy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHylotelephium\u003c\/em\u003e Autumn Joy (formerly classified as \u003cem\u003eSedum\u003c\/em\u003e Autumn Joy) is one of the highlights of the late-season garden.
