drought-resistant plants
Arid-climate vegetation
Drought-resistant plants are species that survive extended periods without water, either by storing moisture (like succulents), developing deep root systems, or reducing water loss through waxy leaves or small surface area.
Gardeners and landscapers favor them in arid climates or for low-maintenance yards: We replaced the lawn with drought-resistant plants to cut our water bill.
