1. DAYLILIES
Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are extremely easy to grow, and “can find a perfect spot in any garden,” says Walz. These flowers have thick, fleshy roots that retain moisture very well, so they can handle heat and drought. Howland notes that she particularly loves the reblooming varieties, like Stella D’oro.
2. ECHINACEA – AKA CONEFLOWERS
Echinacea—in particular, Echinacea purpurea, or purple coneflower—is a favorite of Walz’s. “Every summer garden needs some echinacea!” she says. “Not only do I love their flowers, but the pollinators love them too!” Once established, echinacea is drought-tolerant, allowing it to survive even during the warmer summer days.
3. YARROW
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) can attract many beneficial insects to your yard, and it’s a larval host plant for several species of butterflies. “It’s exceptionally resilient, drought-tolerant, and heat-tolerant,” says Mary Phillips, head of native plant habitat strategy at the National Wildlife Federation. She recommends applying an ample amount of mulch during the warmer months, which will help the yarrow retain its moisture and cool the soil.
4. LAVENDER
Warm soil and dry conditions are beneficial for lavender (Lavandula), says Howland–it can help the plant establish strong roots and reduce the risk of root rot. “Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, and prune back one-third of its growth after flowering to encourage healthy new growth,” she adds.
5. BLACK-EYED SUSANS
Black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia fulgida) have a “fast-growing root system, so they’re quick to get settled in once established,” says Walz. They’re also heat and drought-tolerant, so they make sense for July planting. They’ll bloom from late summer through the fall, adding a beautiful yellow color to your yard.

WHY ARE THERE YELLOW LEAVES ON TREES IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER?
ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION!
In one of the archived shows from previous years, the Garden Guru talked about how we should be fertilizing right now. And specifically, plants need supplemental minor nutrients – especially iron. Iron is really important during the summer. The lack of iron does affect your plants. If you see your leaves yellowing and you have fertilized it, then your plant needs iron. Iron is easy to implement – just sprinkle iron around your plants all over your yard and YES we sell the iron your plants need. This way your plant will absorb it easily and it will keep your plant’s leaves healthy and green.
Lynn also discusses various trees that are really popular right now. He said that Maple trees are popular and really “DO” grow here in New Mexico. Listen to Lynn’s tip on how to make your trees grow hardy and healthy with a shot of iron.

Here’s THIS MONTHS ZODIAC SIGN PROFILE AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU GARDEN:
LEO (JULY 23 – AUGUST 22)
Leo settles, or deepens, the summer. With your sunny disposition, black-eyed Susans, Jerusalem artichokes, and sunflowers adorn your gardens and are quite easy for you to grow. Leos never do things halfheartedly, so massive and extensive displays of marigolds, orange gaillardia, poppies, and/or zinnias grace your front walkways and patio beds. A stalwart soul, you take great pride in your surroundings and desire to have the best in the neighborhood. Your zest for living can be seen in the salsas, gazpachos, and saffron dishes produced in your grandiose kitchen. Expect a large bottle of hot sauce to reside there as well.
