Perennials are the best way to fill an area with color and life all season.
Take a look at our list of favorites for your sunny spots!
1. Mountain Marigold
The bright yellow and orange daisy-type flowers smell sweet, which attracts bees to your garden as well. Perfect for sunny locations!
2. Daylily
Daylily is a glorious flower that can be found in bloom all summer long. Big, gorgeous blooms appear early to midsummer and they multiply quickly so you’ll want to divide it soon after planting if possible with the help of some friends!
3. Shasta Daisy
Shasta Daisy is a flower that doesn’t need much water or care. They have been known to grow in dry climates, and their white petals contrast beautifully against other plants from rainier regions of the world.
If you want some beautiful daisies for your garden this summer-time season then look no further than Shastas!
4. Black-Eyed Susan
The hardy black eyed susan plant is a beautiful variety of flower. These flowers can handle the sun, heat and dry soil amazingly well even if you give them very little water to do so!
5. Red Hot Poker
These red Hot Poker plants are a perfect option for those who enjoy the sun. They grow to be about five feet tall and can withstand dry conditions, so once you plant one in full sun it’ll quickly take off!
Make sure that there’s enough room between these exotic looking beauties, so they don’t crowd each other.
6. Coreopsis
The coreopsis is a state wildflower and thrives in the hot, humid conditions of Florida. It’s not surprising that this flower can handle full sunlight!
7. Coneflowers
A bright daisy-like flower is in abundance all through the summer, and it will continue to grow with your help until early winter. The blooms last for weeks before they fall off or get plucked by pesky birds!
8. Butterfly Weed
Butterfly weed is an adorable plant with orange flowers that attract butterflies all summer long.
These plants can grow between one and three feet tall, but if you start them from seeds they may not bloom for 2-3 years!
9. Hardy Hibiscus
Hibiscus is a gorgeous plant that sports huge, bell-shaped flowers. Though tropical types are typically grown indoors (or as an annual), hardy hibiscus plants make exceptional specimens in the garden!
10. Yarrow
