Most flowers slow down when summer heat hits — these ten actually speed up. 🌿

Bred on prairies, meadows, and dry hillsides, they bloom stronger under relentless sun and weeks without rain.

Heat-tolerant blooms:

Cosmos — thrives in poor, dry soil; self-sows each fall; blooms more when treated harshly.
Butterfly W**d — native milkweed with bright orange flowers monarchs love; deep taproot makes it drought-proof.
Blazing Star (Liatris) — purple spikes bloom top-down, feeding butterflies for weeks.
Sedum — succulent leaves store water; late-season blooms feed pollinators when most flowers fade.
Black-eyed Susan — blooms June–September without extra water; self-sows and naturalizes into drifts.
Zinnia — cut one stem, three more grow; full sun and heat required.
Lantana — blooms from planting to frost on minimal water; deer, rabbits, and most pests ignore it.
Coneflower (Echinacea) — deep taproot reaches water; blooms for months; seeds feed goldfinches in fall.
Blanket Flower (Gaillardia) — red-orange pinwheels peak in July heat; self-sows annually.
Tall Verbena — wiry stems with purple clusters attract bees and butterflies all day; self-sows into gaps.

These flowers don’t just survive heat — they need it. 🌞

🌺 Create a Hummingbird Haven Garden 🪶

Bring hummingbirds to your garden all season long with the right mix of native, nectar-rich plants.

• Yellow Honeysuckle (Zones 4–9) — Early-blooming vine that welcomes first arrivals
• Royal Catchfly (Zones 5–8) — Bright scarlet flowers hummingbirds love
• Blue Sage (Zones 5–9) — Tall blue spikes blooming late summer to fall
• Red Buckeye (Zones 4–8) — Small tree with striking red spring blooms
• Foxglove Beardtongue (Zones 3–8) — Early white flowers packed with nectar
• Wild Bergamot (Zones 3–9) — Purple-pink blooms through summer
• Garden Phlox (Zones 4–8) — Fragrant midsummer flower clusters
• Columbine (Zones 3–8) — Essential early-season nectar source
• Purple Beardtongue (Zones 5–9) — Bold purple blooms that stand out
• Rose Verbena (Zones 6–10) — Low-growing plant with continuous color

✨ Tip: Combine nectar-rich flowers with a clean bird bath (refresh water every 3–4 days) to keep hummingbirds coming back again and again!

NCA would like to welcome Amanda Godwin as our NCA Cheer Sponsor for 2026-2027!

"I'm excited to step into the role of Cheer Sponsor at NCA. My husband, Rocky and I, are both NCA graduates and have been married for nearly 10 years. We have 2 children, Elliot (7), and Simmie (5), who both currently attend NCA, which makes this opportunity to pour back into the school that helped shape us both even more meaningful.
