5 flowers that don't fear the heat in summer, easy to grow well even on a sun-scorched balcony

In the blink of an eye, summer has arrived again, and many flower lovers have started making a shade curtain for their small home garden to keep their beloved flowers from being scorched by the blazing sun. But here's a secret: in the blazing sun, my garden needs no shade curtain, and the flowers still bloom even more beautifully than in spring! All because everything I grow is sun-tolerant and heat-tolerant, and summer is exactly the season when they grow vigorously. Today, follow along with the editor and let's learn about which plants are suitable for summer.

1. Bougainvillea
It is a plant that blooms in summer, and it is also a favorite among flower lovers in southern regions. It is super sun-tolerant and heat-tolerant, and its flowers come in many colors such as watermelon pink, rose red, yellow, white, and light pink. It also has few pests and diseases, and its care cost is very low. After it blooms, it is truly especially beautiful.

2. Plumbago auriculata
An indispensable flower in the summer garden, it is a perennial upright herbaceous plant, and its color is a dreamy blue. As long as it is cared for properly and pruned diligently, it will bloom diligently, making it truly a "summer bloom machine." As for watering, its water demand is very high, so never let it go short of water. Be sure to water as soon as the soil looks dry, otherwise it will show you yellow leaves.

3. Sunflower 'Sunbelievable'
The more it is exposed to the sun in summer, the more enthusiastically it blooms, and that describes Sunbelievable. Its overall color is in the yellow range, and its usual care points are very simple: just do not let it lack water. In summer, it needs to be watered at least twice a day. However, note that it likes warmth and is not very cold-tolerant. In southern regions it can bloom normally in winter, but in the north it cannot survive winter naturally.

4. Lily
Summer lilies still bloom enthusiastically, simply because after lilies form buds in summer they need plenty of sunlight, and only with sufficient sunlight will their colors be more vivid. You can choose to plant them at a temperature of around 30 degrees; after planting, no shading is needed, and a full-sun, ventilated environment is enough. The watering method also follows the principle of watering when dry and letting it dry somewhat between waterings, and you can water until it runs through the pot.

5. Duranta erecta 'Sheena's Gold'

After blooming, it smells of a faint chocolate fragrance, and the flower color is a noble purple. Duranta erecta 'Sheena's Gold' likes sunlight, and the more the sun scorches it, the more it blooms. But note that the flower pot must be large enough, because it really can grow into a big tree. Its flowering period is 5-10 months, and in warm weather it can bloom year-round. It likes moisture and is not drought-tolerant. The watering method also follows the principle of watering when dry and letting it dry somewhat between waterings, and you can water until it runs through the pot.
