Perennial flowers that don't require much water include echinacea, daylilies and yarrow. Plant all three of these flowers in the sun where you want tall, drought-tolerant flowers. Yarrow is available in shades of pink, yellow and white.
Geraniums
I live in Colorado and don't get much rain, those are some of the flowers that we have. Lavender also does well.
Succulents don't need a lot of water but they do need sun..
A lot of regions like Arizona that are very hot and don't have much rain plant cacti (cactuses). Great for areas that need plants that fit into drought resistance places like California when they were on drought restrictions before their last winter. Like your first comment from Donna suggested flowers that are drought tolerant you can plant these plants with the cacti you and your neighbors will be amazed at your beautiful landscape. I would check out Pinterest and the internet for drought resistance landscapes and also you should check into trees that are drought resistance to provide shade to help to keep your home cool and for your pets to have a nice cool place to lounge under.
I live in a hot and sunny place and I love to plant Moss Rose they reseed themselves in the pot each year. I add a few new seeds to the pot each spring and I have them all summer long. Portulaca grandiflora is the real name and often just labeled as Portulaca. They are multi-colored and I just love them. Easy Peasy
It's always best to choose plants that are native to your area, especially because they are tolerant to whatever your growing area is. Native plants are also beneficial for local catapillars/butterflies, insects, etc. Google your Zone and/or talk with a reputable garden center (not the big box stores).
