Collection: Summer Plants

Sydney summers are hot, long, and demanding — and the summer plants that thrive in them are the ones that were chosen for this climate, not despite it. Our summer plants collection is built around varieties that peak precisely when conditions are harshest: heat-tolerant flowering plants, long-season bloomers, bold tropicals, and the Australian natives that hit their stride in the warmth.

Summer flowering standouts include Crepe Myrtle — one of the most spectacular long-season flowering trees for hot Sydney summers — alongside Bougainvillea, Plumbago, Portulaca, and Vinca for ground-level summer colour. Tropical varieties like Bird of Paradise, Strelitzia, and Heliconia deliver their most dramatic flowering in summer heat. For edible gardens, summer is peak season for tomatoes, zucchini, basil, and chilli — we stock a range of summer veggie and herb varieties suited to Sydney's growing conditions.

All summer plants have been selected by our horticulturalists for genuine heat and drought performance once established. Shop online, delivered from $9.99, or visit us in Annangrove — open 7 days through summer for seasonal advice and plant pick-up.
