Drought-Resistant Perennials You Can Plant This Summer

Here are some of the drought-resistant perennials you could add to your yard this summer season.

Summer brings intense heat to people’s yards. This heat can put a great strain on different parts of our yards, from our lawns to our trees. Something else affected by the heat is flowers. Fortunately, there are some perennial flowers that offer drought resistance that will help them persist throughout the summer. Here are some of the drought-resistant perennials you could add to your yard this summer season.

Daylilies

Daylilies are available in a wide array of colors, allowing you plenty of possibilities for how you want your yard to look. There are also different sizes you can get, being anywhere from one to three feet. Consider getting a bunch of daylilies in a plethora of colors to create a vibrant and eye-catching landscape.

Lavender

Another of the perennials you could consider is lavender. This flower enjoys dry climates, which works well with the dry and intense heat that summer can bring. If you enjoy walking around your garden, you can often catch the pleasant fragrance that lavender gives off. This fragrance makes lavender suitable not just for outside, but also in containers you could keep inside of your home.

Butterfly Weed

Perennials such as butterfly weed can be stunning in anybody’s yard. They have a bright orange color that truly stands out among other flowers you might plant in your garden. Generally, people group these flowers together to produce a great deal of color in their yards.

July and August are the months when these flowers truly thrive, making this time of year the perfect time to look into them. They also attract butterflies, which explains the name that these perennials are given.

Rudbeckia

These are wonderful perennials you can add to your yard if you want some late-season color. Whether you spread them throughout your garden or group them together, they can give your yard an extra touch of beauty to brighten up your yard. Also, if you enjoy wildlife, rudbeckia flowers are a great choice because birds head to them for food during the winter months, meaning that you can enjoy them long after the summer season has passed.
