    I want to plant my garden with lots of nice bedding plants in the ground and pots & baskets, but i want stuff that doesnt require lots of watering. What can you think of?
    Begonias, geraniums....anything else?

    Gazanias are fairly drought hardy, as are plants like Portulaca.

    Pinks like dry soil, plus they have lovely fragrance.
