We can all feel that Texas sunshine. Have no fear; summer is a perfect time to pick up lovely color for your garden. With heat loving blooms, your containers and flowerbeds can persevere through these triple digit temperatures and beyond!
Our Marketing Director, Kimberley Gotcher, joined Good Morning Texas to discuss some of the great plant options for your garden this summer.
First: Great gardens start with fantastic plants
Give your garden the gift of summer color. Quality, heat loving plants are just what you need this summer.
We have great annual and perennial options for your garden. Annuals add glamorous blooms and will last through the season. Perennials add texture and color and with adequate care, will return next season. Adding both options to your landscape will help give your garden color all year long.
Cora® Vinca is the best plant for any Texas summer. They love the heat and truly thrive during this time of year.
Lantana adds a zest of color and style to any container or flowerbed. They are relatively low-maintenance and attract butterflies to your garden!
Angelonia is an annual with masses of beautiful peaks of color rising above the foliage from late spring to late summer. They create a wonderful texture that sets it apart from other plants in your garden.
If you are looking for a perennial option, Coneflower is perfect for your summer garden. They are colorful, relatively low-maintenance, and under ideal conditions, will keep coming back every year. Hummingbirds and butterflies love these plants and are the perfect addition to your landscape for attracting these pollinators to your garden.
