California Native Plants to Brighten Summer Gardens

California Native Plants to Brighten Summer Gardens

As summer approaches, California gardeners are encouraged to consider native plants that thrive during the warmer months. According to Tim Becker, director of horticulture at the Theodore Payne Foundation, incorporating evergreens and summer bloomers can ensure gardens remain vibrant even in the heat. Highlighted plants include Saint Catherine’s lace, desert willow, and California fuchsia, all of which provide color and support for local wildlife. Becker emphasizes the importance of planning for year-round interest, particularly during summer when families spend more time outdoors. Events such as the Comprehensive Irrigation for Native Plants workshop in Sun Valley on June 5 and other gardening activities across Southern California aim to educate and inspire gardeners to embrace native flora.
