About this book

Dry weather characterizes the Southwest and continues to intensify. As water becomes scarcer, gardens face challenges. Gardening in these conditions requires changes to plant selection and garden practices. Hot Color, Dry Garden presents approaches to gardening with limited water while maintaining color and visual interest. Sterman showcases examples of gardens that incorporate water-efficient plants. The book covers design strategies using plants, architecture, and accessories to achieve color in dry gardens, and includes a directory of drought-tolerant plants.
