Sun-resistant plants are those that you can keep throughout the summer and that cope well with high temperatures. Here is a list.
Sun-tolerant plants areideal for spaces where light exposure is intense, including many garden greenhouses. These are species that tolerate high temperatures, and can flower and thrive in hot conditions.
If you have a sheltered space that receives a lot of heat, you don’t have to worry about choosing some of the species that we will recommend. You can even work inside structures such as a tunnel greenhouse, a tunnel straight walls greenhouse, a minitunnel greenhouse or a mini wide-span greenhouse. Read on and don’t miss a thing.

Plumbago
Plumbago is a shrub that needs frequent watering, but it copes well with high temperatures. It also adds a touch of elegance with striking light blue flowers on branches over 1 metre high.
Wisteria
Wisteria is another sun-tolerant plant. It is not fussy about care, but you should prune it at the end of flowering and water it frequently to keep it growing healthily. The latter is done to counteract the effects of the sun, especially during the summer.
Wallflower
We can’t forget the wallflower, it is a very beautiful plant that looks perfect in many spaces. Its flowers come in a variety of colours, each one adding a special touch. In addition, it can be shaded, but can withstand more than 5 hours of sunlight a day.
Lantana
Lantana is very easy to grow and does not require such rigorous care. They are also considered resistant to high temperatures and direct sun, but are toxic when ingested and somewhat invasive. What does this mean? They need to be well organised because they spread quickly and crowd out other species.
Gladiolus
Among the sun resistant plants, gladiolus can be distinguished by their colourful flower spikes and can be seen in many gardens as well as flower arrangements because they have the perfect height and colours to stand out from other plants.
Cacti
Cacti are one of the most popular plants and do not require a lot of care. They cope well with sun and drought, so watering should not be abundant, in fact, it is only recommended to do so every 10 or 12 days. They also come in many forms, ideal for gardens or indoors.
Carnations
Among the outdoor plants, carnations are one of the hardiest, which is why they look splendid in the intense summer sun. They have green leaves and flowers of various shades, so they are sought after for decorating spaces and do not require much to grow .
Gazania
Gazania is a plant native to South Africa and not only withstands high temperatures, but its flowers also remain intact. It has very bright colours, such as yellow or orange, but you can even find them in combination.
Marigold
Marigold is one of the sun-resistant plants with many benefits. You may know it for its orange and yellow flowers, as well as for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and healing properties. Add to this the fact that they are easy to grow and you can have plenty of them no matter how hot it gets.
Hibiscus
Hibiscus is native to tropical regions, they have large, showy flowers that vary in colour and size. They are one of the most heat-resistant ornamental plants and also have medicinal properties, especially diuretic and cosmetic. As a bonus, it can be used for cooking.
Bougainvillea
Let’s not forget the Bougainvillea either. It is a climbing plant that abounds in tropical regions and thrives in high temperatures. However, beyond this characteristic, it is perfect for beautifying spaces due to its large and colourful flowers. The only thing to be careful of is that it is not consumed.
Aeonium
Aeonium belongs to the genus aeoniumss, which forms a group of more than 30 types of succulents. It is a perfect plant for decoration and does not require much to look beautiful. It is sun resistant and you don’t have to water it often to keep it bright green.
Citronella
Citronella falls into the sun but also aromatic group. The latter characteristic makes your greenhouse or garden feel cooler and mosquito-free. However, it does require frequent watering and proper drainage to stay healthy.
Tagetes
Tagetes are beautiful herbaceous plants that add intense colour to gardens or any other space you wish to decorate. As well as growing strongly in warmer climates, they are easy to care for and are useful for pest control.
Rosemary
To close, we must talk about Rosemary. It is another aromatic and medicinal plant that you can have in your greenhouse or garden, no matter if it is summer. It grows without problems with periods of drought and sufficient sunlight, although it is a good idea to grow it all day long.
And you already have the ideal place to grow everything we recommend? Garden greenhouses like the ones from Fertri are excellent structures to keep your plants under control, no matter if it is during the winter or the strong summer.
In addition, you can choose the type of greenhouse that best suits your project. Among the options we have the tunnel greenhouse, tunnel straight walls greenhouse , minitunnel greenhouse, mini wide-span greenhouse, among others.
