Heat Loving Greens and Things- Heat tolerant plants for all regions

     Looking to grow a garden that thrives in the heat? This collection of heat tolerant plants, was born from over 15 years of trialing varieties that don’t just survive—but truly shine—through the hottest months of the year. Whether you’re in Florida, Texas, Arizona, Missouri, or anywhere summer hits hard, these crops are chosen to help you keep growing when most gardens give up.

    This curated collection includes heat tolerant greens, resilient fruiting vegetables, and tropical standouts sourced from regions around the world with climates similar to the American South—like West Africa, Southeast Asia, Northern Australia, and South America. Some need full sun and heat to thrive, while others appreciate partial shade or grow best in early summer and again in fall. As we continue refining this list, we’ll be tagging varieties for summer tolerance and preferred growing windows, so check back often.

     These are the crops we plant ourselves when our cool-season gardens wind down. We recommend them to gardeners who want more than just survival—they want lush, productive summer gardens.

     Note: If available, items can be purchased as plants, seeds, or cuttings from the same page—just select the option you want. If you’re choosing plants, make sure to pick a size if more than one is listed. Some items may offer pre-orders, with shipping dates updating live as availability changes.

     Many of these crops are available as seeds year-round, with plants grown and shipped in-season. Availability varies, so act fast when you see your favorites back in stock.

     All of our plants are grown in-house using organic methods.
