Meet these three new plants that are heat- and drought-tolerant—perfect for waterwise gardens! ⁠
⁠
⁠
Mangave ‘Wigging Out’ (Zones 7b-11) was introduced by Walters Gardens and is a part of the popular variety ‘Bad Hair Day’. This plant features long, narrow leaves that arch out from the center of the rosette. Thin, creamy white edges add variegation to the leaves. When placed in a tall container, ‘Wigging Out’ can make a striking architectural statement with its strappy leaves hanging over the sides. waltersgardens.com ⁠
⁠
The dark blooms of Blackjack™ (Agapanthus hybrid ‘DWAgHyb-02’; USDA Hardiness Zones 8-11) can pack a punch of color in your garden. This plant is a semidwarf evergreen with blooms that attract bird- and butterfly-attracting flowers from spring to summer. Blackjack™ can be a great border or container plant. southernlivingplants.com ⁠
⁠
Kaleidoscope™ ‘Dancing Embers’ (Delosperma ‘Dancing Embers’; Zones 5b-10b), from Proven Winners, has beautifully intense reddish-orange flowers with cream centers. This plant has large blooms and improved cold hardiness, making it a great hardy ice plant to create a blanket of color. provenwinners.com ⁠
