Indigenous plants have adapted to exactly these conditions, so they tend to need less water, fewer chemicals and less fuss once established. They also attract sunbirds, butterflies and bees, which makes a garden feel alive.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95690a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_text_block\" data-id=\"95690a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;highlighted_vertical_offset&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;highlighted_vertical_offset_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;highlighted_vertical_offset_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"wd_text_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-text-block reset-last-child text-left\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Good choices for local gardens include plectranthus for shady areas, agapanthus and wild iris for borders, and aloes for sunny, well-drained spots that bring winter colour.
