Echinacea species are herbaceous, drought-tolerant perennial plants growing up to 140 cm (4 ft 7 in) in height. They grow from taproots, except E. purpurea, which grows from a short caudex with fibrous roots. They have erect stems that in most species are unbranched.
An important feature of Chloris gayana is its drought tolerance. [6]: 70 The reason why it is drought tolerant can be found in its roots. Production may effect with mild drought period if it is cultivated for forage purpose. Chloris gayana roots are able to extract water at a depth of 4.25 meters. [3]
Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree of the family Moringaceae, native to Northern India and used extensively in South and Southeast Asia. [2] Common names include moringa , [ 3 ] drumstick tree [ 3 ] (from the long, slender, triangular seed-pods), horseradish tree [ 3 ] (from the taste of the roots, which resembles ...
[2] [7] It is moderately drought tolerant, and a nectar source for birds and butterflies in landscape settings. [2] It was introduced to Europe in the 1600s. [9] Lion's tail can be found in other subtropical and Mediterranean climate regions beyond South Africa, such as California, Hawaii, [7] and Australia where it has naturalized in some areas.
The plant is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant. It can be a repellent for certain insects, including aphids and squash bugs. [3] Catnip is best grown in full sunlight and grows as a loosely branching, low perennial. [33] The cultivar Nepeta cataria 'Citriodora', also known as lemon catmint, is known for the strong lemon-scent of its leaves.
Chrysopogon zizanioides, commonly known as vetiver and khus, is a perennial bunchgrass of the family Poaceae.. Vetiver is most closely related to Sorghum while sharing many morphological characteristics with other fragrant grasses, such as lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), citronella (Cymbopogon nardus, C. winterianus), and palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii).
Berberis trifoliolata is exceptionally drought and heat tolerant. [20] Thus, they also grow in dry periods without being watered. It usually grows best in full sun, but it can also be cultivated in light shade. Additionally, the plant is not very cold tolerant and is therefore especially grown in places where winters are short and mild.
It blooms in late spring/early summer in hot, dry weather. Flowering is profuse, with trees being covered with yellow flowers, many times with almost no visible leaves. It grows well in dry climates. Growth for this tree is best in full sun on well-drained soil; it is relatively drought-tolerant and slightly salt-tolerant.
