Drought-tolerant native plants

These natives grow in dry soil and, once established, get through a rainless stretch on what falls from the sky. Most earn that with deep roots, so the trade is up front: they need watering through the first season while those roots go down, and resent it afterwards. Give them lean, sharply drained soil — rich, damp, well-meaning garden conditions are what actually kills them.
