Looking for flowers that flourish in the heat waves and can even tolerate the temperature range of 100 F (38 C)? Well, here they are—the Best Flowers for Full Sun, and some of these flowers are very drought tolerant as well.
Pentas

Beautiful Pentas attract pollinators like bees, hummingbirds, and sunbirds due to the nectar. This is a tough, heat-tolerant plant that you can grow in containers.
Lantana

Lantana is a common tropical and arid climate flower that blooms year-round in bright colors like red, yellow, orange, white, or pink and thrives in neglect and heat.
Plumbago

Moonflower

The spectacular display of large and fragrant pure white flowers resembles morning glory and opens in the evening. It flowers year-round in subtropics, but if you live in a temperate region, grow it annually as it is one of the best annual flowers for full sun.
Hibiscus

Moss Rose

With amazing needle-like foliage and bright and colorful small flowers, Portulaca plants are worth a place in your container garden, in hanging baskets, or in window boxes whether you live in the tropic or in the temperate zone!
Blanket Flower

Grow Mandevilla as annual in cooler climates; it is a fast-growing and heat-resistant tropical climber that blooms heavily. Flowers are pink, white, or red in color.
Bottlebrush

Marigold

Marigolds love the sun and heat, so keep them in a spot that receives full sun, and they’ll bloom heavily. With the choices available, you can grow marigolds either as annual or perennial. It is one of the best perennial flowers for full sun.

    I was gobsmacked to learn that petunias and alyssum are heat tolerant. I bought a hanging basket of purple petunias and was thinking I'd lose them once it got hotter. The container was so densly packed with plants that I broke it up and got two more pots. Now that I know they'll survive the heat, I'm going to put them in the ground with another heat lover, Florida native red salvia, and alyssum. If you want a shrub that will last a long time, not just something for a container, choose plumbago. I planted a row of them 15 years ago and they're still going strong. Thriving nicely in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, zone 10B. One plant mentioned here that doesn't do well in high temps are roses. They'll live, but struggle to bloom. Also be aware that oleanders are poisonous and handle them with gloves on.
  • Un vídeo espectacular,me alegró el día,saludos cordiales desde Lima Perú.

    Angelonia it is such a sweet little cottage looking plant. One of my favorites
  • @jesseostone386
    Yeah, I’m wondering how well some of these will survive in the heat of Texas. Temps exceed 100 easily.
  • Grew Mex sunflowers last year they were at least 10 feet tall with tones of blooms. Really wowed me
  • I have the purple one from Africa and it’s not doing well in Florida due to little rain. I have others that I planted last year that aren’t doing well, due to no rain. The garden shop said they were drought tolerant, but they are not.
  • Warning: Some of these won’t survive in full sun in the Calif’ interior valley. we’re having full weeks of over 90* dry heat. Last yr a day of 113*. This is not uncommon for this area. I’m in northern Calif foot hills near Chico.☀️☀️☀️
