Yes, we’re in May – and it finally feels like it! But as glorious as the sunshine is, it’s time to think ahead… because the plants you choose now will be the ones you’re caring for during the summer heat. If you're filling a sunny spot – whether it's a border, patio pot or balcony box – let’s be smart about it.

This is your chance to get ahead with tougher, more drought-tolerant varieties that can handle the heat with a lot less fuss. They’ll still give you colour, scent and structure – but without the constant watering and wilting drama. 💦
