According to the RHS advisory team, ‘good plants for winters, which cope in hot, dry conditions, include anything with fleshy, succulent leaves; or even no leaves such as cacti.’
‘For flowering succulents, a Flaming Katy Kalanchoe blossfeldiana comes in many colours. Also the Christmas (or Thanksgiving) cactus Schlumbergera. For ornamental colourful leaves Begonia rex is reliable.’
Other plants such as snake plants, aloe vera and peace lilies are also among some of the easiest to care for all year round.
