What is the best drought tolerant shrub for San Antonio Texas?
Im looking for recommendations on a shrub that would be good for the climate of San Antonio, TX. The ones I had before died. Here’s my requirements:
1) short shrub, 3 feet tall max.
2) Drought tolerant(the drought killed my previous shrubs). I do not want to spend any time watering these, they need to be able to survive on their own. This is important.
3) They are on the NW side of my house, so they will be in the shade in the morning. In the early afternoon they will have a few hours of direct sunlight. In the late afternoon they will mostly be in the shade because there is a tree to the west of the shrubs.
rosemary and lavenders will work, they won’t die and they smell great!
the rosemary will probably get larger than a lavender, but they will both be 3 feet or under
