Choosing drought-resistant plants for your landscaping in Texas makes sense. The weather conditions are often drought-like, and it can be a waste of resources to create a beautiful landscape with plants that can’t withstand the weather or will require massive watering.

Lavender
Lavender originates in the Middle East and is very drought-resistant. The light purple flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies.
