For a flower garden to thrive in hot and sunny areas, marigolds, geraniums, and other annuals can be used. However, they must be replanted each spring. Many perennials that bloom can withstand heat and return yearly without your intervention. The simple garden plan combines several sun-loving perennials so that their bright yellows, purples and pinks will make a striking display for many weeks. This design can be used to fill a full sun area in your yard. It will provide multiple colours and textures that last throughout the summer.
The No-Fuss Sun Loving Garden Plan: Plants
This vignette’s back layer is made with Russian sage, butterfly Bush, and hollyhock. The tall spires of their flowers will stand high against a wall or fence. Coneflowers, blazing stars and tickseed are good mid-height layering plant options. For a polished and lush finish, fill the spaces around the edges with low-growing lavender, asters, and sedum.
You can substitute other varieties with similar colours, shapes and sizes if you cannot find the specific variety listed. You should also check your local invasive species list to ensure that you don’t plant any too aggressive plants or spread beyond control in certain areas. Butterfly bushes, for example, can be problematic in certain parts of the country. You may want to plant Bluebeard with similar-sized flowers during the summer.
