Sun Loving Plants Advice

What makes sun loving plants special?

Sun loving plants are perfect for bright spots in your garden where other plants may struggle. From hardy perennials to seasonal bedding, these varieties thrive in full sun, rewarding you with vibrant colour, healthy growth, and long-lasting displays. Many are drought-tolerant, making them ideal for low-maintenance gardening.

Choosing the right location for sun loving plants

These plants flourish in areas that receive at least six hours of sunlight a day. Adding organic compost improves soil structure, helping roots absorb nutrients and retain just the right amount of moisture. Raised beds and containers are also excellent options for promoting drainage.

How to plant sun loving plants

1. Select a sunny location suited to the plant’s eventual size.
2. Prepare the soil by mixing in compost to boost nutrients.
3. Position the plant at the same depth it was growing in its pot, backfill, and gently firm the soil.
4. Water well after planting and add a mulch layer to conserve moisture.

Caring for sun loving plants

• Water regularly in the first season but avoid overwatering once established.
• Feed with a balanced fertiliser during the growing season for continuous colour.
• Deadhead spent flowers, at the correct time, to encourage more blooms.
• Keep an eye out for weeds, as sunny areas can quickly attract them.
