Drought-Tolerant Plant Finder

Search 84 proven low-water plants for xeriscapes across the American West. Filter by USDA hardiness zone, sun, how much water a plant needs once established, plant type, and features like pollinator value, deer resistance, native status and evergreen foliage.

Every plant here is drought tolerant once established, and every hardiness range was checked against Plant Select, university extension services and botanic-garden plant databases. Each plant page covers how to establish it, how to prune it, the soil it wants, plants that pair well with it, and where to buy it.
