5 Drought-Tolerant Herbs To Plant Now

One might not expect that some of the dainty culinary herbs we love to throw in our summer-inspired recipes and refreshing cocktails this time of year are actually made to withstand the elements, but, in fact, it's true. Lavender, thyme, and sage are a few of the best heat tolerant herbs to grow and enjoy when the dry season hits. In fact, all but one of the herbs on this list are safe to withstand full sun and most can also take a hefty dose of heat. If possible, plant these herbs in pots that can be moved to shady or cooler spots if you expect to find yourself with triple-digit temperatures or a severe drought during the season. Otherwise, happy growing.
