This is in the bed planted outside our back fence where there is no irrigation. Once or twice a month in the middle of the scorching summer heat and drought I drag an extra long hose out there and water a little. It's my drought- tolerant test bed. These are REAL drought conditions.
We've had lots of fall and spring rain, so the plants are quite happy -- for now!

Super!!
They are a pretty plant and I love to have them in the garden. I must get some gopher plant for my rock garden but I never seem to see it.
Janet - Thanks!
Lancashire Rose - I love their height and movement in the garden. With our wind here they are always swaying in the breeze. Try the Great Outdoors for the Gopher plant. They often have it. Will miss you in Asheville this week. Hope to be posting as we go.
Yes, I like the gopher plant also. Drought tolerant plants that look good are good to have indeed.
I'd love to try some of those coreopsis. Maybe the deer would leave them alone here. I'm thinking there were some a couple years ago. They eat everything here, though.
I like the Gopher Plant, too.
Jenny...I saw some yesterday at Natural Gardener.
Happy Bloomday....
