What are the best flowers for direct sunlight and high heat?
Posted by admin
LB asked:
I live in Texas and it gets in the 100’s sometimes. I have looked at Lowes and gotten flowers that said “direct sunlight” but they always end up dying, I guess from the extreme heat. Anyone have any ideas on what I can plant this spring?

I also water everyday, and put miracle grow on them when I plant them. Are there any other tips or tricks to keeping annuals alive?

Flowers that helps hold water in full sun the most important thing is to put the flowers that helps hold water crystals in the hot sunny summer.

I also found a hybrid version of Impatiens works well, its called a “Sun-Patien” (I’m sure I spelled it wrong) anyway, I put it out and it did real well, as long as I kept it watered daily, and dead-headed the old buds off. I also trimmed it a couple of times and it grew back out nicely.

We live in East Texas, when you say heat and sunshine, I think vincas and marigolds. We have them every year at our house.
You need to wait until it gets really warm to set out vincas. If you put them out too soon, they are susceptible to a virus.
Marigolds, come is several varieties some are rather short but most tend to be tall.
Wave petunias also do well.
Watering every day may be a bit too much. You really should wait a week or so before applying any fertilizer. A slow release like Osmocote is better than some other fertilizers.

Lantana is great and I had it in Florida and in Ohio….it gets ’sticklike’ in Fla. but a green stem in Ohio! But what beautiful colors and such tiny little clumps of flowers.
