Desert gardening requires specific knowledge of heat-tolerant plants and water conservation. Arizona's unique flora adapts beautifully to harsh conditions with proper care.
Native Plants
Palo verde, creosote, and barrel cactus thrive in Arizona heat. Desert marigolds and brittlebush provide color. Lantana and desert rose offer flowering options.
Gardening Principles
- Use mulch to retain soil moisture
- Water deeply but less frequently
- Plant native species requiring less maintenance
- Provide afternoon shade in extreme heat
