We list 10 flowers, perennials and succulents for you, which are easy to thrive heat and dryness.
Even if you choose true sun worshipers, you should consider a lot when planting the area around the terrace. Here are several useful tips:
1. Choose plant boxes and flower pot made of natural materials that do not heat up too much. Wood and ceramics are well suited. Avoid steel, fiberglass, plastic (becomes brittle) and stone. Choose buckets and boxes in bright colors.
2. The same also applies to the rock garden: if you want to set stones in the middle of the flower bed, then leave enough space (about 20 cm) between the stones and the plants. Otherwise, you risk heating the stones and the roots of the plants are damaged.
3. You can plant the terrace from mid -May. In the first two weeks, however, the young plants need sun protection (through a pergola, fleece cover or parasols).
4. The stronger the sun shines, the faster the water evaporates. Especially in the summer months, you should water the plants more often than usual.
