From lavender to rosemary, oleander to dipladenia, these Mediterranean and exotic plants resist high temperatures and beautify your space all year round. Verdeia offers you sturdy, decorative species adapted to sunny urban environments.

Plants that love light

Full-sun plants thrive under intense and regular exposure. They tolerate heat, require little maintenance, and offer spectacular blooms.

Lavenders and rosemaries: symbols of the South, they scent the air and perfectly withstand drought.
Oleanders: generous flowering and evergreen foliage for a Mediterranean atmosphere.
Bougainvilleas: spectacular on walls, they offer bright and sunny hues.
Dipladenias and geraniums: long-lasting and colorful blooms all summer.
Agaves, yuccas, and aloes: graphic silhouettes resistant to urban heat.

Creating a harmonious sunny space

A south-facing outdoor space can become a true corner of paradise with the right plant combinations. The idea is to balance volumes and textures for an effect that is both natural and structured.

Play with heights: place the tallest plants (bamboos, laurels, dwarf palms) in the background.
Combine shades: blend silvery greens, evergreen foliage, and bright flowers for a luminous effect.
Choose suitable pots: favor terracotta, ceramic, or light recycled plastic to limit heat.
Add a mineral touch: gravel, pebbles, and natural elements enhance the Mediterranean spirit.

Maintenance & tips for a sunny outdoor space

Full sun plants require little attention but appreciate some regular care to thrive sustainably.

Watering: generous but spaced out, preferably early morning or evening to avoid evaporation.
Drainage: essential: add clay pellets or gravel to the bottom of pots.
Substrate: light and well-aerated, ideally enriched with sand to avoid excess moisture.
Fertilizer: a monthly application during flowering stimulates vigor and color.

Ambiance & decoration

Full sun invites warm and colorful atmospheres. Pair your plants with terracotta pots, light wood or metal furniture, and cushions in natural or pastel tones.

To soften the light, consider light curtains, pergolas, or leafy trellises that filter the sun while creating a soothing atmosphere.
