Caption: Spring gardening with drought resistant Verbena homestead purple, and Salvia Navajo Pink in pots over white.

This stock photo series seems appropriate for March 1st, since most of us begin thinking of spring about this time of year. These photos focus on a beautiful purple verbena flower head cluster with fresh water droplets on the flower petals. Verbena is a drought tolerant annual that grows well in the desert southwest and makes a nice addition to a low water xeriscape garden.
