Best drought resistant plants/flowers/shrubs

[dick27]

Have you found anything blooming in this drought? Maybe that you didn't expect? Or just a helpful list for 2027 and beyond...
For me

1. salix /flamingo willow - positively busting out all over
2. poppies, popping up all over

Thereendeth my very short list. Nothing else is blooming at all.

Fennel is everywhere in my garden, stipa gigantia is ok, echinops looks good, sedums growing. Apart from that, it’s pretty much arid and mainly massive weeds, (ground too hard to pull them out), but they look a bit like grasses from a distance. Some of the buxus is scorched but other areas growing well. Not watering anything.
