From cordyline to flax, grass and plants with strappy leaves are a great pick for the hard-to-grow spots in your garden. They’re low maintenance, tough and thrive in a wide range of conditions. Many are also drought-hardy, which naturally makes them excellent picks if waterwise gardening is your thing. Thanks to their interesting texture and generous growth habit, grass and strappy leaf plants also make ideal border plants and lend themselves perfectly to mass planting.
