Heat Tolerant Perennials

Check out our collection of perennials that can handle some extra heat. There's no need to worry about wilting flower stems or withering foliage. These plants survive, or even thrive, in hot sites that are difficult to garden. If you live in USDA zone 8 and above, be sure to explore this collection to find a variety of perennials curated just for your climate. You know what they say; if you can't stand the heat, get out of the garden!
