Plants that Beat the Heat! Drought and Heat Tolerant Plants

[@mishmishm7847]

You asked us for more suggestions so watching your little hot list, I'd say there are a good few more shrubs I would add to your list. A: Oleander.(Nerium oleander) This is a super strong shrub that can bloom for months!! as short as 1 meter high, or much taller. There are various types and colors ranging from pure white to pink salmon and reddish . It prefers regular watering but can stand heat and drought much better than most of what you suggested. I have oleander in 3 gallon pots and they still hold well. B: Vitex agnus-castus. Vitex is a large shrub suited to the Southern Mediterranean climate, thus very heat resistant. It has excellent spires of blooms . Varieties ranging from creamy white to blues. C: Plumbago or "Leadworts" Those south Afrikan species are trailing or slightly bushy. They bloom for really long months!! In shades of blue . I would add more... but i doubt if anyone would read... M.m. from sunny Mediterranean

These are great suggestions, and I’ll add one more that’s blowing me away: Echinacea Glowing Dream. I’m in S. Texas and it’s taking the heat and humidity like a champ.

[@RootedTheory]

Awesome!!! I’ll have to check out that specific variety 💚😎

@1:14 and @1:50 What is the bright orange plant next to the Hesperaloe? Yes, I did learn something - several somethings. Thank you!

[@RootedTheory]

Hey! It’s actually a variety of Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos). I believe it may be the ‘Orange Cross’ or ‘Tequila Sunrise’ variety. Thanks for watchin! 😎

Do you recommend purple iceplant for Tucson, AZ?

In South Africa we call Lion's tail (Wild Dagga- Wild Marijuana) because the foliage smells like Weed.😂😂😂😂😂

[@RootedTheory]

lol..yeah it definitely has that smell 👃

[@GraceSullano-u1i]

Where can I buy them?

[@GloriaNavales-h2n]

Require a speciality nursery to purchase these plants? Where to buy in San Antonio and surrounding areas? Must be highly reputable 😊

In the sonoran dessert, "heat" tolerant is different from "direct sun" tolerant. I have a garden on a slope that, so far, has 2 ocotillos and 1 century plant at the top and 3 Devil's tongue Ferocacti at the bottom. I can't figure out how to fill it in. Also, this is an area 8b but every year we go down into the mid-20's in January and February. Ideas??

[@RootedTheory]

Hey! Well you have a good start with those plants. I always like to design with height, color, and texture variation for good interest. But also don’t like to have too many different plant types as that can feel too busy. It sounds like a balance of maybe 4 to 5 more varying plant types could work for you. I would suggest clumping these together in groups of odd numbers, such as groupings of 5 or 7. Then repeat patterns across the slope. Here’s some to consider. - Mallow (Globe, Indian, Apricot, Desert Mallow) - Opuntia Santa Rita - Calliandra eriophylla - Penstemon parryi - Blackfoot Daisy I’d also considering bringing in more Agave varieties such as A. tequilana, A. parryi, or A. deserti. I hope this helps give you a good start!

Im in ne Oklahoma and i think im in zone 6. I wish someone would tell me, ive looked on Google and it said zone 6 to 7?????? Please i need help😊

[@RootedTheory]

GA is tricky. It covers zone 6b all the way to 8b! www.walterreeves.com/wr2020/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/GA-HZ-1990-a.jpg

[@FrancescaLuce-ti6rh]

That’s rad

[@smb-zf9bd]

Good suggestions only if you live in your zone. Folks who make videos like this should identify their location & zone. Things that look nice in full sun in PA (tomatoes, for example) have heat problem in the South in full sun.

Can you help? can you shout out help for the small business sprout people.. just saw their article newsletter on substack what google is doing to them and their business .. it aint right and we can help them .. "searched big G (google) for s”Sproutpeople”. The first thing that showed up was True Leaf Market - a much larger competitor that is a conglomerate of several companies they have purchased over the years. They sell everything - not just seeds and supplies for sprouts and microgreens. THEY PAY GOOGLE TO TAKE OUR NAME SPROUTPEOPLE AND TAKE OUR BUSINESS - so if you search for OUR name - they appear on top. That is just plain WRONG! They are siphoning off customers who search for us by name. That is predatory behavior. We trademarked our name decades ago - so it’s also trademark infringement."
