Water Wise Plants

As I learn my plants, I'm always looking for great additions to my yard. After all, if it's beautiful out in the wild, wouldn't it be nice to have it growing a little closer to home?

I found this website today that helps me figure out what is likely to grow at a lower elevation--and is also considered water wise, meaning that it takes less water to grow than many of the nonnative ornamentals.
