Drought-tolerant flower seeds — colour for hot, dry spots

Some of the toughest, most beautiful flowers actively prefer it hot and dry — perfect for baking borders, gravel gardens and the times when watering just isn't possible. This collection gathers the most resilient bloomers from our flower seed range. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide covers the basics.

Sow at the right time to establish before the heat — the calendar shows when.

Flowers that thrive on neglect

Sun-lovers like cosmos, cornflowers and California poppies shrug off dry spells once established, and many double as pollinator plants. They're ideal for a low-water, wildlife-friendly border.

Growing drought-tolerant flowers

Most prefer poor, free-draining soil and full sun — too rich or wet and they sulk. Water young plants until they're established, then leave them to it; many self-seed and return without any help.

Planting a low-water border? Here's where to look next.
