*Even drought tolerant annual and perennial plants will need water for the first few weeks while they get established.

Growing Tips
These heat loving plants are a great choice for hot climates, especially those with high night temperatures.
Often plants that look great in the nursery don’t always hold up in your yard because they can’t take the heat and dry summer season. Sundaze are drought tolerant Australian outback plants with superior performance even under low water conditions.
An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.
