Low-Maintenance Plants That Actually Survive the Summer Heat
Love the idea of a lush, green patio or windowsill but not so into daily watering and high-maintenance care? Same here. The good news is: there are plants that can handle Georgia's summer sun without turning into crispy, sad leaves by July.
Here’s a quick list of low-maintenance, heat-tolerant plants that are perfect for summer—whether you’ve got a full backyard or just a sunny window.
These little guys are tough, stylish, and super forgiving. Think aloe vera, echeveria, and jade plants. They thrive in bright light and only need watering every week or two (less if it rains).
Perfect for: Sunny porches, windowsills, or patio tables.
Also called "mother-in-law’s tongue," this plant does well in both low and bright light and only needs water every couple of weeks. Plus, it purifies the air!
Perfect for: Indoor entryways, shady patios, or even the bathroom.
If you want color and butterflies, this one’s a winner. It blooms like crazy and loves full sun and dry conditions—great for hot Georgia afternoons.
Perfect for: Planter boxes or flower beds with full sun.
An herb that smells amazing, looks great in pots, and survives full-on heat? Yes please. Rosemary is drought-resistant and thrives with little effort.
Perfect for: Kitchen gardens, porch pots, or raised beds.
If you’re craving color and something you can cut and bring inside, zinnias are beautiful and practically grow themselves in the heat.
Perfect for: Flower beds or cut-flower gardens in sunny spots.
