If you’re looking for full sun plants that don’t need much maintenance, you’ve come to the right place. A sunny outdoor space can be a blessing as most flowering garden plant species need full sun to thrive. However, add intense heat to the sun and it can become difficult to keep plants alive. Fortunately, some plants have evolved to tolerate both direct sun and heat, for weeks or even months at a time.
These plants will do very well planted in sunny garden borders, in raised beds, or next to sunny walls. Best of all, you won’t need to worry about keeping them alive. All of these are recommended by professional gardeners with experience of growing plants in hot and arid climates.

1. SEDUM
, sedum ‘is one of the best plants to use in hot, sunny areas. They are tough plants that can handle almost any condition. The stems and leaves have a truly interesting look that is striking even before the flowers arrive. Sedum is drought tolerant and looks great in garden beds, along sunny walkways and in planters
Sedums come in several types, ‘from tall, upright varieties down to low-growing groundcovers.’ They’re hardy, too, and perennial, so sedums come back every year and require ‘very little maintenance.’
2. CONEFLOWER

Coneflower, or echinacea, has been a sunny garden favorite for generations for a reason. It ‘adds a big bang of color to the garden with its bright, summer blooms. It’s the perfect option for a sunny garden and requires little maintenance once established.’ Coneflowers are known for their medicinal properties - the flowers can be dried and used as an immune system-boosting herbal infusion. Coneflower also ‘makes a great cut flower for bouquets and is a favorite of butterflies and birds’, according to Musgrave.
3. YARROW

Yarrow is ‘a great option for hot, dry gardens. It has flat-topped flowers that bloom late spring to late summer and is a known favorite of butterflies.’ Yarrow is also deer resistant, which is a bonus if you live rurally in an area where deer are common. Yarrow is ‘available in many striking colors such as yellow, red and pink.’
4. PERENNIAL HERBS

Many drought-tolerant herbs thrive in full sun with hardly any maintenance, aside from an annual prune. They’re completely the opposite of tender-leaved herbs like parsley and basil. Kate Russell, Author of Stop Wasting Your Yard!

gardening blog points out that ‘Many herbs thrive in hot, dry weather and most of them prefer being left alone. Thyme, rosemary, and sage perform very well in hot weather and poor soil.’ Rosemary is a great - and underused - herb garden plant for hedges and green fence ideas, while sage comes in many varieties, both edible and ornamental.
