hi my is Sylvia and I love flowers and plants but flower’s are awesome. I want to know whats the best flower to plant thats good in the summer and survive the heat. I’m trying to learn about the different types of flowers. I’m doing a landscape for my church and need something simple to start with and possibly something that we grow back every spring and summer to enjoy them.i also would like to know how after they would need watering.Thank you ,I look forward to hearing back from you. 😊
Stick with as many perennials as you can, since those will be more durable against summer heat. Also, if you can focus on native plants that thrive in your community, even better. Depending on where you live, that’s going to change. Look up “native flowers [your state/area]” and you will get some great ideas there. There is no one-size-fits-all here, it really depends on your location and climate.
Shirley inspires me! I love her style and creativity!
