Summer Flowers

Summer offers so much in terms of outdoor enjoyment of nature and the weather. However, severe heat and humidity can be challenging for not only humans but also for plants and flowers. When creating a flower garden, simply reading the information provided when you purchase the plant can make all the difference in the success of your garden surviving the the summer heat. Certain varieties of flowers thrive in the hot sun while others do better in the shade.

If you are looking for summer flowers, below is a short list of some you might consider:

Full Sun six hours or more

• Daylily –  Flowers of the Daylily come in several colors and have ruffled petals. They require full sun.
• Cuphea – Frequently referred to as the firecracker plant, the Cuphea is a hummingbird magnet. It has bright red and orange flowers and does best in full sun.
• Marigold – Needing full sun, the Marigold is a long time favorite flower. It is very durable and resists insects.
• Fan Flower –  A wonderful spillover plant, the Fan Flower needs full sun. It produces lovely flowers in colors of pink, purple and white. The Fan Flower is perfect as it falls over the edges of window boxes.
