Drought-Tolerant Flowering Plants for Florida Yards

Florida summers bring heat and dry spells, but you don't have to sacrifice color. These drought-tolerant flowering plants stay vibrant with minimal watering once established.

Lantana

Lantana thrives in dry, sunny conditions and keeps blooming through Florida's hottest, driest stretches with little more than occasional watering.

Plumbago

Once established, plumbago tolerates extended dry periods while still producing soft blue flowers all season long.

Portulaca

Portulaca's succulent leaves store water, letting it thrive in full sun and sandy, dry soil where other flowering plants struggle.

Bougainvillea

Bougainvillea actually blooms more vigorously under drought stress, making it one of the best low-water options for vivid color.
