Yes, I know about drought. No ground plantings or lawn gets water anymore. Only potted plants and I've devised ways to catch the drain water from many of those to use on another plant. Lots of mosquito nesting grounds here. Fortunately, they don't like my flavor very much and I have swallows and toad frogs that feed on them. The croton has a tray to catch the water and it sucks most of it up between the daily watering cycle. So the plant pretty much as 'wet feet' all the time.
