What are the best plants to put in a location with partial sun and hardly any water?

These plants will be placed around our new patio. I want them to be small. Flowering plants are an option. The area will have an overhang from the roof so it will not receive that much water. I will have to water them by hand mostly, so they need to be able to go days with out water.

Nasturtiums are vine like and grow well in containers or beds....They have red orange and yellow flowers and prefer poor dry soil...Pansys would do well and they bloom all year round


Also my shade garden is full of Hostas...They come in several shades of green are very hardy need no care and give a lush feel to the yard...Ooooh ...have fun!...{Hostas get to be about 2-3 feet across though}
Reply:You might try boxwoods, I now they don't like to be over watered or fertilized, but it depends on how dry you place gets. i would suggest buying a small one that is inexpensive and try it out
Reply:Where do you live? If they get too dry in the summer without water they will wilt. Do a google search on drought resistant plants.
Reply:cactus are the best for lack of water, still if you make a point of watering them every day, anykind would work as long as you just water them even every couple days.
