Best July Plants – Areca Palm & Blue Daze Flowers

As Englewood residents look ahead to the warmer months, local gardening enthusiasts are already planning their July landscapes. For those seeking vibrant additions that thrive in our climate, the Areca Palm and Blue Daze flowers are standout choices.

The Areca Palm, known for its lush, feathery fronds, is a popular selection for adding a tropical touch to Englewood homes and gardens. It performs well in partial shade, making it suitable for sheltered patios overlooking Lemon Bay or as an indoor plant that can be moved outdoors during the summer. Its ability to tolerate our humid conditions makes it a resilient option for July planting.

Complementing the green foliage, Blue Daze flowers offer a stunning pop of color. These low-growing, spreading plants produce an abundance of sky-blue blooms that can brighten up flowerbeds, hanging baskets, and containers in neighborhoods like Manasota. Blue Daze thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an ideal choice for Englewood's summer heat.

Both plants are relatively low-maintenance once established, allowing residents more time to enjoy their beautiful surroundings. Local nurseries, such as Englewood Garden Center on historic Dearborn Street, are expected to have ample stock of these popular July plants as the season approaches.
