Plants that thrive in heat

[Sloat Garden Center]

Looking for plants that thrive in heat?

Summer-loving flowering plants like Calibrachoa, Lantana, Verbena, Wave Petunia, and Pelargonium are great options. (Unless you’re in the cooler coastal or San Francisco areas, perennials such as Nemesia, Osteospermum, and Erysimum will shy from the heat).

Annuals that thrive in sun and hotter weather are:

• Cosmos
• Nicotiana
• Zinnia
• Salvia splendens (in red, purple, and peach!)
• Petunias
• Vinca rosea (Calycanthus)
• Portulaca

Shade-loving plants that will do well in heat:

• Impatiens, Fibrous Begonias, and Coleus
