Here are some options for flowering plants that can easily withstand our hot, humid summers:
Truly, any native plant is going to thrive during our hot, humid summers. And so many of them flower. We especially love the Fetterbush that’s blooming right now, the flowers are so adorable. Research what’s native to your area for easy gardening.
Mexican Heather is a great option, and the bees love it. Non-invasive Lantana is very drought- and heat-tolerant and attracts butterflies since it’s the perfect landing pad. And Salvia, available in various colors and great for pollinators.
The Hibiscus actually do very well in our heat since they’re native to tropical regions. And most of our flowering shrubs sit out here in full sun 365 days a year, so they’re all pretty capable of withstanding our summer heat.
Jasmine is a hardy vine that’s easy-care and smells amazing. Honestly, most vines are great options since they’re fast growing and can get established quickly. And they’re all so pretty.
And there are even more options, so make sure to stop by soon if you’re in the area!
