Best Choices for Dallas Summer Flowers

As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers followed by the start of summer in June and in Dallas, that also means the arrival of Texas heat! As with any plantings, choosing flowers that will best tolerate the sun, shade or soil condition is a wise decision and a good investment of your time and budget. We're gearing up for summer flower planting and here are some of our faves that are proven performers and can stand up to the hot summer months!

OUR FAVORITE: Pentas

We can't say enough good things pentas, they are proven performers that can stand up to the Texas heat and full sun while at the same time also thrives in light to medium shade so are terrific for those beds that get mixed sun throughout the day. They don't require a lot of water, attract butterflies and come in bold colors that are great for a layered look.
