Succulents, such as aloe vera, cacti, agave, and yucca, can thrive in both little water and sun [1]. They are adapted to retain water in their leaves, stems, and roots, and they can handle direct sunlight. Other plants that need little water and sun include lavender, sage, thyme, and rosemary, which are all drought-tolerant herbs that can grow in partial shade and need only occasional watering.
