Here is our list of flowers you can’t kill that thrive in the North Georgia climate:
Lantana
Lantana is a great option for your yard because it’s low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and attracts pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. Perfect for Georgia’s hot summers, lantana requires little water once established. It is available in shades of yellow, pink, orange, red, and purple.
Vinca
Another flower you can’t kill is Vinca. Vinca thrives in poor soil and needs little water. It is a great plant to add to your yard or landscaping because it’s low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and thrives in heat. There is also no deadheading needed with this plant.
Black-eyed Susan
Black-eyed Susans are hardy flowers that bloom all summer. Once established, they’re fairly drought-resistant but appreciate occasional deep watering.
Salvia
Salvia is an excellent choice for Georgia gardens because it’s heat-tolerant, drought-resistant, and low-maintenance. Deer and rabbits tend to avoid salvia due to its strong scent and slightly fuzzy leaves. It’s also naturally resistant to many common garden pests.
Hostas
Hostas are a wide variety of leaf colors, from deep green to variegated white and yellow. They are great for shaded areas and once established require minimal care. They are great for borders, under trees, and mixed beds.
Knock Out Roses
Knock Out Roses are an excellent choice for many gardens, including those in Georgia. They’re known for their low-maintenance, disease-resistant qualities, and vibrant, long-lasting blooms.
Encore Azaleas
Encore Azaleas are another fantastic option for Georgia gardens! They stand out because of their year-round interest and ability to bloom multiple times throughout the year. Here’s why they’re a great choice. They come in a wide range of colors, including pink, red, white, lavender, and bi-colored varieties. This flexibility allows you to create colorful, year-round displays.
Gardenia (Frostproof variety)
Gardenias are a wonderful choice for many gardens. They are known for their fragrant white blooms and glossy, dark green leaves, gardenias bring both beauty and fragrance to the landscape. These shrubs are evergreen, meaning they keep their lush, dark green foliage year-round, adding structure to the garden, even when they aren’t in bloom.
