Hey there Fellow Plant Pals, it's Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener with your Top 10 Native Plants to Grow in AZ.

Ready to bring the desert beauty right to your backyard? Choosing native plants means they're already adapted to our climate, so they'll thrive with less fuss. Let's start with some real standouts – yuccas and agaves.

Now, you might crave those giant saguaros, but they're tricky up here. Instead, go for agaves like the Artichoke Agave – that "Century Plant" with the dramatic bloom. It won't take 100 years like the name says, probably more like 20 in your garden!

For a splash of color, nothing beats Red Yucca. We've got them in three sizes: giant ones that tower over you, standard hip-height, and the dwarf "Brake Light" Yucca perfect for containers. Those red flowers really pop!
