Heat-Hardy Plant Combos
Planting Combos That Can Withstand The Heat
With hot, arid summers, it can be a bit hard to know what to plant, let alone create a plant palette that will hold up to the heat, look nice together, and offer a little uniqueness. Now you can plant with confidence by using one of our five full-sun combinations.
A little something for our pollinators, this combination offers seasonal interest with the fall colors of the Crape Myrtle. The Bottlebrush offers landing pads for bees and hummingbirds amongst the blooms. Add a bird bath to quench the thirst of pollinators.
You cannot have too much of a good thing... big magnolia flowers, tried-and-true boxwood, and eye-catching variegated leaves. We've added Yucca 'Stoplights' to the mix to make everything pop.
This waterwise combo is all about leaf texture and color. Incorporate different sizes and colors of leaves for year-round visual interest. The blooms are just the icing on the cake.
A little more on the traditional side, this collection offers on surprise—Pomegranate. Who said traditional is boring? Add pottery filled with bold-blooming seasonal colors to punctuate your design.
The best part of this combination is drought resistance that looks great all year. The variety of leaf sizes, colors, and textures provide interest when blooms are not ready to pop. If you're looking to add more to the mix, include yarrow to round out the attraction for pollinators.
