    I am after some plants to put in the small garden area at our static caravan. They need to be plants that will manage without being watered for around 5 days as most weeks we dont go until the friday night and come back on the sunday eve. Ideally i would like something that will come back year after year.
    What would you reccomend?

      Hello loopyLor13

      Most perennial plants and shrubs planted in the ground, once established, do not need much watering, unless there is a long hot period. To help newly planted ones to settle, I would give them a thorough watering as soon as i arrive at the site on Friday and once again just before leaving.

      In addition to the plants Sal73 listed above, I'd like to add:

      Phlomis

      Acanthus
