Top Flowers That Love the Aussie Summer Sun
Australia’s diverse regions—from tropical QLD to temperate VIC and arid WA—require different care strategies. In coastal zones, opt for flowers that can handle humidity like impatiens and vincas. For drier inland regions, native varieties like everlasting daisies and grevilleas are ideal. Use mulch to reduce evaporation, water deeply but less frequently, and plant early in the morning or late afternoon for best results.
