We design gardens in northwestern Connecticut’s Litchfield Hills, and many of our clients’ properties have sections that are rocky and steep. Embracing the unique contours of each site, we have built rock gardens, terraces, and plantings that flow downhill. We see each hillside as an opportunity to put together a satisfying plant palette that is easy to maintain and beautiful to behold. A bonus with slopes is that they provide good drainage by their very nature.
14 Drought Tolerant Plants for Hanging Baskets
03.05.2024 - 14:27 / balconygardenweb.com / Ralph Astley
People who are living in an apartment are always looking for plant options that are easy to maintain and can be grown in a limited space. if you are one of those, this list is curated especially for you!
Botanical Name: Senecio rowleyanus
A great choice for beginners, this drought-tolerant succulent is famous for its trailing nature, which makes it the best fit for hanging baskets. Once watered well, it will go on for a few weeks before asking for moisture again.
Botanical Name: Sedum morganianum
Burro’s tail is another option that you can consider growing in hanging baskets to show off its thick blue-green leaves. Although this perennial can tolerate drought conditions well, it is important that you water it occasionally.
Botanical Name: Pelargonium peltatum
The trailing habit of Ivy Geranium makes it ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes, and other containers. These drought-tolerant plants can also be used in mixed plantings, or as trailing accents in combination with other annuals or perennials.
Botanical Name: Lysimachia nummularia
Moneywort or Creeping Jenny, a drought-tolerant plant, is often used as a ground cover. All it needs is bright indirect light all day long, and it will go on for 8-10 days without water after moistening the soil.
Botanical Name: Hedera helix
Another evergreen and drought-tolerant perennial that takes drought like a champ is English Ivy. Growing it in hanging basket is one of the best ways to limit its aggressive spread, while making its leaves dangle down beautifully.
Botanical Name: Chlorophytum comosum
Spider plant is an excellent choice for hanging baskets. With incredibly easy propagation methods, you can have many of them around the house where they can bask in indirect light all day long.

10 Smallest House Plants for Tiny Spaces
If you have limited space indoors, there is still a range of house plants you can buy to add greenery to your home. Succulents and cacti offer the biggest choice of small house plants, but there’s a wealth of other varieties to enjoy, from air plants that grow without compost to the carnivorous Venus flytrap. As well as small plants, look for slow-growing house plants that take time to reach their mature height, such as the nerve plant. Windowsills, desks, hanging planters and shelves can all be enhanced by space-saving house plants.

Best Plants for a Mediterranean Garden
Mention Mediterranean gardens and you’re likely to imagine alfresco dining, soft colour palettes, citrus trees in terracotta pots and sun-loving perennials, all awash with the heady scents of herbs such as lavender and thyme. But you don’t need to travel to Greece or Italy to enjoy this kind of outdoor living. Mediterranean-style gardens are becoming more popular in the UK as many areas become more susceptible to drought, due to the climate crisis. Planting with species that have naturally evolved to live in hot, dry conditions means your garden will be more resilient in dry periods and more sustainable in its use of water – an extremely precious resource during our increasingly hot summers.
