withered plants
Dried-out vegetation remains
Plants that have dried up, shriveled, or lost vitality—typically from lack of water, disease, or seasonal death.
The phrase describes vegetation past its prime: The withered plants in the neglected garden crumbled at a touch.
Withered emphasizes visible decline—leaves brown and curled, stems brittle, life drained away.
