As west coast gardeners, we know how to enjoy the short lived heat of the summer! Between rainy seasons (we do live in a rainforest after all) we live it up with sun-tanning, BBQs and trips to the beach to enjoy the hottest sunny rays the west coast has to offer. Unfortunately many of our plants in the garden don’t feel quite the same way. If you’ve ever experienced excessive wilting, scorched leaves and dried up foliage on your favourite plants, then you know what we’re talking about!
Luckily there are many choices for the sunniest spots in the yard, and a fantastic array of hardy perennials that will love the sun every year. Once you plant them, you can sit back and enjoy (while sun-tanning with your cold beverage) without having to replace them next summer. Take a look at some of our favourites that you can plant in full sun!
