The first answer was absolutely right on - BUT have you considered xeroscaping? (using native plants to conserve water) Use nice (big and smaller) rocks and various sizes of flowering plants, make a small hill and use small rocks to create a dry stream bed, plant only perrennials so you don;'t have to keep replanting every year. Use annuals sparingly just for color. And to see what grows really well, look at your neighbors' yards - what are they growing and how do they look? Happy Gardening!
Well, the first thing you will have to do is to determine which zone you live in. There are, in the US, 11 zones. Each zone has its plants that will do well or are hardy to that zone. Some zones and plants can fare well in a relatively broad number of zones and there are other plants that do well in a limited number of zones. To ensure success grow those plants specific to your zone. A good source to find the plants suitable to your area is the local nursery. The experts there will know which plants wil work best for your area.Another possibility is to take a look around your nighborhood to determine which plants your neighbors enjoy successfully.
