Plants need sunlight to survive — that’s a gardening basic even kids know. After all, sunlight is an essential part of the whole photosynthesis process plants use to grow.
But just like humans can get burned after too much sun exposure, some plants can suffer when placed in full, direct sunlight. That’s right, even plants can get sunburned. Instead of turning bright red, plants that get too much sunlight can develop crispy brown (aka “scorched”) leaves.
Avoid scorched leaves this summer by filling your garden with sprouts that can tolerate light and heat. Explore the list below for nine full-sun plants that flourish in summer.
