Are you planting the right summer plants in your garden?

Earlier this season, we shared essential early summer care tips to prepare you for the heat. But now that we're halfway through summer, it's time to replace those underperforming plants and bring new life to your garden. These 3 summer plants are about to tell you what they have to offer.

Let's hear it from the plants themselves!

Marigolds, Your Independent Summer Flowering Plant

Hi there! I'm Marigold, your independent summer flowering plant! When the sun is blazing and the heat is relentless, I'm the independent hero your garden needs. I can shine with just a bit of light. And I'm not just pretty, I'm also an excellent home-keeper! Pests shy away from me, so you'll get a double dose of beauty and protection. Let me be one of your summer garden plants and watch me shine!

Black-Eyed Susan, Your Bee Catcher

Hey y'all! I'm Black-Eyed Susan, and I'm here to promote summer planting. With my cheerful blooms in shades of lemon yellow, orange, and golden hues, I practically take care of myself and can keep flowering for weeks on end. I also attract a delightful parade of pollinators, adding extra vibrancy and life to your garden. Trust me, I'm one of the best summer blooming plants you could invite to your garden party!

Daylily, Your Summer Gardening Fairy

Hello hello! I'm Daylily, a true summer garden fairy. My stunning, trumpet-shaped flowers bring a tropical feel to any garden. I'm heat-tolerant and low-maintenance, perfect for busy gardeners like you. While each individual flower only blooms for one day, don't worry, I quickly produce new blooms to keep the show going. With so many colors to choose from, you can mix and match me to create a garden that truly stands out.

We're not just pretty summer plants. We're tough, resilient, and ready to shine in the summer sun. So, give us some soil, sunshine, and water, and we'll make your garden into a blooming summer paradise! And don't worry about robot mowers, they won't be able to hurt us. We heard that they're controlled by technologies like vSLAM and obstacle avoidance, which means we're safe no matter what!
