Mediterranean Plants

Mediterranean plants are species native to the Mediterranean region, characterized by their ability to thrive in hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Examples include lavender, olive trees, and rosemary. These plants are well-suited to xeriscaping and other water-wise landscaping practices, making them a popular choice in regions with similar climates, such as California or parts of Australia. Mediterranean plants are often used in informal, naturalistic garden designs that emphasize texture, fragrance, and drought tolerance. They are also commonly used in herb gardens, container plantings, and as architectural elements in the landscape. Proper site selection, with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight, is key to the success of Mediterranean plants. Their low maintenance requirements and ability to thrive with minimal water make them an excellent choice for sustainable, attractive landscaping.
