Drought-Tolerant Tropical Plants

Creating a lush poolside garden doesn't have to mean high water bills.

Agave Varieties

  • Agaves are known for their architectural shape and extreme resilience.
  • They require very little water once established in the soil.
  • Be sure to choose a non-spiny variety if you have small children playing nearby.

Palm Trees

  • Palms add vertical interest and a classic tropical vibe to any landscape.
  • Some species, like the Sago Palm, are salt-tolerant and perfect for coastal areas.
  • They provide excellent shade when planted strategically around the lounging areas.

These plants will keep your garden looking vibrant all summer long.
