Echinaceae is also a great option for dry areas.

This plant will bloom most of the summer.

You can also grow echinacea either outdoors or in pots or containers.

In addition, the aromatic plant attracts pollinating insects that are useful for vegetables and fruits: butterflies, bees, and bumblebees.

Prairie sage is another drought-tolerant plant.

Sage blooms from about mid-summer until the end of autumn.

This plant also attracts pollinating insects and hummingbirds to the garden.

In addition, meadow sage does not require special care.

When the plant stems turn brown, they need to be trimmed.

Sedum is also a perennial and drought-tolerant plant.

This plant has colorful foliage, flowers and attracts pollinators.

You can grow sedum in a rock garden or on a landscaped hill.

Yarrow tolerates hot weather and drought well. In addition, the plant is not susceptible to pests.

Flowers can be of different colors - white, yellow, pink, orange, red.

You can also grow yarrow in a container, as the plant reproduces quickly due to self-seeding.
