What to plant in summer months: Our 5 favorites
Butterfly Bush
This beautiful, vibrant summer plant is the perfect answer to what to plant in summer months. It’s fairly low maintenance, and it can bring your landscape to life with – you guessed it! – butterflies (they’re way better than mosquitos, right?).
Angelonia
One of this beautiful plant’s superpowers isn’t just that it blooms the entire summer, but it’s actually a flowering annual – so, you can enjoy it all year long. It thrives in a sunny place, especially if the soil is rich and well-maintained – ideally, by professionals like Mahoney, who know exactly what your plants need.
Sunflower
The good ol’ sunflower never lets you down during summer. A beautiful, simple yellow flower that enjoys the sun’s light and heat so much that it follows it around all day long.
These plants can get super tall, so be sure you anchor them in the soil properly. Oh, and, actually, after they open their buds, they face east – so make sure they have the space to move around in the sunlight without being hit by shadow.
Water them 1-2 per week and they should be happy.
Verbena
Well, if this isn’t a cute little plant to plant in summer months, we don’t know what is (actually, we do know… you can check out our projects to discover some of the unique landscapes we’ve created).
A low-maintenance plant as well, Verbena only needs watering about an inch/week and a bit of trimming to optimise its blooming process.
Wave Petunia
Another flowering annual beautiful plant: Wave Petunia.
This masterpiece loves the sun, and we love it. It’s called a “wave” petunia because it grows in an unusual shape, cascading down after it reaches a certain height. It needs regular fertilizing once every 2 weeks and a well-drained, moist soil.
A dreamland garden is within your reach!
There are so many beautiful plants to enrich your landscape throughout the year.
Deciding what to plant in summer months may be a bit more tricky, but it’s definitely worth doing it. Never settle for less than the dreamland your house or your business deserves.
