The Perennial Garden is a showcase for hardy, drought-tolerant plants that grow well in Fresno area gardens with average care. They are able to thrive in spite of the Valley's challenging growing conditions: Full sun, summer heat and aridity, winter frost and fog, alkaline soil, and a restricted landscape watering schedule. Featured varieties are chosen for their attractive flowers and foliage, which provide color and textural interest throughout the growing season.
