Brighten up the slope with these perennials, organized in the planting maps provided by water needs, with the true drought tolerant plants up at the top of the slope and those with more adaptable needs towards the bottom.

What To Expect
- Each garden contains starter plants in 4-inch pots.
- The plants will be small relative to their mature size and may not be in bloom.
- Occasionally things don't grow as planned. At times, we may have to substitute specific plants but we will always do our best to maintain the color and feel of the original design.
