To water a garden incessantly is an act of denial. To plant for the climate you actually have is an act of intelligence.
This collection is the ultimate solution for the "problem areas" of your estate—the sun-baked corners and arid strips where hydrangeas go to die. Designed specifically for the Southwest, the Great Plains, and the heat-island effect of the city, this mix features a rotating cast of botanical survivors.
These are not delicate hothouse flowers. They are stoic, drought-tolerant annuals and perennials that view irrigation as an insult. They do not merely survive the heat; they require it.

The Curator’s Notes:
- The Roster: A curated assembly of nature’s most resilient stars, including the architectural Ratibida (Mexican Hat), the vibrant Gaillardia (Blanket Flower), Rudbeckia (Black Eyed Susan), and the ephemeral California Poppy.
- The Virtue of Neglect: This mix thrives on a policy of non-intervention. Once established, they ask for minimal water and zero sympathy. They provide color and structure in conditions that would wither a lesser garden.
- Ecological Utility: While they ignore you, they work for the ecosystem. This mix creates a high-traffic nectar corridor for bees and butterflies, turning a dead zone into a thriving pollinator hub.
- The Stratification Strategy: Critical. Do not wait for spring. Broadcast these seeds in the fall. They require the cold of winter to stratify (soften) their coats. Let the snow plant the garden for you.
