Drought tolerant gardens - What design principles should I follow?

Focus on repetition, structure and grouping. Plant in clusters or drifts of similar species to create visual flow. Layer height from groundcovers to shrubs. Use bold foliage, seedheads and architectural forms for year-round interest. Combine hardscape such as gravel paths or stone features with plantings for balance. Consider sun orientation, wind exposure and microclimates. Use water harvesting and rain capture. Repeat plant selections for continuity. Aim for resilience, visual harmony and minimal resource use.
