Summer is a beautiful time of year, but it also comes with strong heat. If you’re someone who likes gardening, this means you have to think about what flowers are best to plant during this time. You need to be sure you pick ones that can endure the temperatures of the summer, while still retaining beauty that can make your home look nicer. Here are some of the flowers we recommend planting during summer.

Marigolds

Marigolds are vibrant and colorful flowers you could plant in your garden. They bring a lot of life to anyone’s garden, coming in warm colors, like yellow and orange. The reason why summer is the best season for planting marigolds is because they require a lot of sunlight, and summer is the best season to get that sunlight. There’s also the added benefit that they aren’t very high maintenance, so you can enjoy them without having to spend too much time caring for them.

Black-Eyed Susans

Black-eyed Susans are among the most popular wildflowers around. They have a golden color that will catch pretty much anyone’s eye, bringing a lot of visual appeal to your garden. They also thrive in sunny weather conditions, meaning that the strong sunlight that summer brings creates a welcoming atmosphere for these flowers.

Hibiscus

These are classics to have around the garden. They can grow to be quite large, and they promote a tropical aesthetic for your yard. The only thing that we need to mention is that you’ll need to have sufficient space, as well as a sufficient amount of water,  if you’re going to plant hibiscus flowers and expect them to thrive.

Aster

Aster is a flower that is often seen in a mysterious purple color, but you might also find variants that are more white or pink. They have high heat resistance, which is perfect for summer, and they give off a more calming vibe than the flowers that have warmer colors. You can expect aster flowers to last from spring all the way through the fall season.
