It seems like a truism: flowers love the sun! However, not all species tolerate a location in full sun, especially since such a location requires a lot of work: sunny locations are hot, especially during the midday hours of summer. Daily watering is therefore important so that the colorful flowers can be enjoyed all season long.
Which flowers are suitable for a bed in a sunny location?
Perennially blooming perennials such as gladiolus, dahlias, spruce, marigolds, asters, chrysanthemums, sunflowers, lavender, rue, phlox, coneflowers and Mediterranean herbs are suitable for a flower bed in a sunny location. Water early in the morning or evening to ensure optimal water absorption.
