Drought-tolerant Plant Combination for Hummingbirds

Simple and easy to grow, this dynamic duo delivers year-round structure and non-stop flowers from summer to fall that the hummingbirds adore. Drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and good-looking—lot's to love about this super easy-to-replicate plant combination. Use it as a building block and add on: for instance, Bupleurum fruticosum, a crape myrtle, and a ground-hugging succulent would round out this sun-worshiping vignette very nicely.
