I'm replacing my whole backyard with drought tolerant native plants. It's a work in progress and a constant battle against the weeds at the moment because it's about 5,000 square feet of area.
So far I have echinacea, mock orange, golden currant, several species of penstemon (cut-leaf, grandiflora, Rocky Mountain), a juniper tree, yarrow, sagebrush, chokecherries, showy milkweed, orange globemallow, and elderberries.
The milkweed is probably my favorite right now while things are growing in. I swear it is bigger every time I look at it.
If you feel like it, I'm sure the community would love to see pics! I know I would.
