Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

I'd guess 'Moonbeam' to be one of the most frequently planted perennials for low water gardens, and for good cause. This little charmer has a delicate, thread-like leaf and airy countenance, and it blooms its little heart out all summer long, usually until frost. Blooms are small and pale yellow, somewhere between creamy and slightly greenish-yellow. Put it in perennial borders, parkstrips, along walks, in parkinglots. Grows about 12 to 18 inches tall and wide.
