Garden plants for full sun
Welcome to a vibrant selection of garden plants perfectly suited for basking in full sunlight. Among our curated collection, you will find the enduring Saxifraga × arendsii 'Blütenteppich', renowned for its floral carpet, and the stately Nothofagus antarctica, or Antarctic beech, which thrives under the generous rays of the sun.
Thriving in Sunshine: Selecting the Right Garden Plants
Designing a sun-drenched garden requires choosing plants that not only survive but thrive under the full glare of the sun. Full-sun garden plants are varieties that need at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily to grow robustly. They are uniquely adapted to these conditions, often featuring certain traits such as thickened foliage, wax-coated leaves, or deep root systems to withstand the heat and light intensity.
Hardy and Heat-Loving Varieties
Our range of full-sun garden plants includes a diverse selection that can create an inviting and resilient outdoor space. The Saxifraga × arendsii 'Blütenteppich', also known as a mossy saxifrage, is one such gem. With its lush, flowering mats, it offers an enchanting ground cover that can handle the sun's full force while providing a cascade of blooms. The Rhododendron 'Nova Zembla' is another hearty choice, boasting vibrant flowers that resist fading even when exposed to intense sunlight.
Textural Contrasts and Year-Round Interest
For textural contrast, consider incorporating grasses like Deschampsia cespitosa 'Goldtau', which captures the golden light of dawn and dusk with its feathery inflorescences. Meanwhile, the reflexed stonecrop, Sedum reflexum 'Aurea', adds a touch of golden foliage to the garden palette, complementing the soft textures with its succulent leaves.
A Tapestry of Foliage and Flowers
Create a tapestry of foliage and flowers by including diverse species such as Thymus vulgaris, whose aromatic leaves are as functional in the kitchen as they are decorative in the garden. The Euonymus fortunei var. radicans serves as an excellent evergreen for sunny spots, providing year-round greenery with its climbing habit. For a touch of the dramatic, the towering spikes of Physostegia virginiana 'Summer Snow' offer a vertical accent, while the dainty flowers of Hypericum olympicum 'Grandiflorum' dot the landscape with cheerful yellow.
Grasses That Catch the Light
Grasses are an integral part of a full-sun garden, and varieties like Panicum virgatum 'Rehbraun' stand out with their reddish-brown foliage that sways gracefully in the breeze. These plants not only catch the light but also contribute to the movement and dynamism of your garden.
Incorporating these plants into your garden ensures a lively and robust display that can handle the summer sun with ease. At Heijnen Plants, we pride ourselves on providing these sun-loving specimens, all grown with care to ensure they arrive at your home ready to flourish in the full sun they adore.
