6 extremely sun-tolerant perennial flowering plants that bloom more the more sunlight they get

In more southern regions there is very ample sunlight all year round, the lowest temperature stays above 5 degrees, and summers are especially scorching hot. With ordinary plants, when summer temperatures get high they all have to be moved indoors to avoid harsh sun exposure, otherwise they easily get scorched to death.

But the six heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant flowering plants below are very well suited to being grown on terraces and in yards, needing no care outdoors all year round, and they are fine even with harsh sun exposure, so they can be grown in full-sun spots.

1. Bulbine

Bulbine looks very much like an aloe, and its flowers are quite similar to those of aloe plants. Its leaves are very slender and tall, a bit like an onion's, and it is especially easy to grow. It likes loose, breathable, well-draining soil and likes a warm, dry environment all year round, and it does not need frequent care. It has extremely strong heat tolerance and drought tolerance.

2. Purple coneflower

Purple coneflower is an especially heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant herbaceous flower that can tolerate full sun and harsh sun exposure. It likes a warm, dry environment all year round, and when planted in a yard it does not need frequent watering.

3. Cosmos

Cosmos produces charming, colourful flowers in summer and autumn and grows very delicately. It likes a hot, dry environment, and the growing soil must maintain good drainage. Too much water easily causes root rot, so you can add plenty of river sand to the soil to adjust its drainage.

If you want cosmos to bloom better, the growing spot should ideally get more than 6 to 8 hours of direct light each day. Keep it ventilated and exposed to light, keep it in a warm, dry environment all year round, and avoid overwatering.

4. Lantana

Lantana, also called shrub verbena, easily becomes an invasive flowering shrub in more southern regions. If you want lantana to bloom more, you must give it as much light as possible, keep it in a warm environment all year round with a minimum care temperature above five degrees, and provide more than six hours of direct light each day.

Lantana has a great many varieties with different flower colours, and some are mixed-colour varieties. The most common are the yellow, purple, pink and red varieties.

5. Sage

Sage is an extremely elegant herbaceous plant. It grows well in a warm, dry environment all year round and is very suitable for planting in a yard. The growing soil should maintain good drainage, and you can choose a loose, sandy soil for growing it. The growing spot can be kept brightly lit, and it can also be given as much light as possible.

6. Chinese trumpet creeper

Chinese trumpet creeper likes ample light and is extremely heat-tolerant and drought-tolerant, and it can produce charming, brilliant red flowers. It has strong climbing ability, so you can plant it beside a wall or a trellis.

Chinese trumpet creeper likes loose, breathable, well-draining soil and has low fertility requirements. It grows very quickly, and as long as it is kept in a warm, dry environment all year round that is enough. You must set up a support for it to climb on, so that it can maintain vigorous growth.
