Choosing plants suited to the island’s climate can help gardens remain attractive through the hottest months while reducing the amount of maintenance required.
The arrival of summer often highlights the difference between gardens that flourish in Lanzarote and those that struggle with the heat.
High temperatures, strong sunshine and limited rainfall mean not every plant is suited to island life. Selecting varieties that naturally cope with these conditions is one of the simplest ways to maintain an attractive garden throughout July and beyond.
Cacti and succulents remain popular choices thanks to their resilience and striking appearance, but they are far from the only options available. Olive trees, herbs, flowering plants and many mature shrubs can also provide colour and structure when selected with the local climate in mind.
Flower Power has spent nearly two decades helping residents choose plants that are suited to Lanzarote’s growing conditions. The garden centre offers a wide selection of flowers, mature plants, cacti, succulents and decorative pottery, with advice available for gardeners of all levels of experience.
Combining different plant types can help create year-round interest while keeping maintenance manageable. Mature plants can provide an instant sense of established greenery, while flowering varieties introduce seasonal colour around patios, entrances and pool areas where families are likely to spend more time during the summer.
Decorative pots and planters also offer flexibility, particularly for apartments, terraces or homes without traditional gardens. They allow homeowners to introduce greenery into even the smallest outdoor spaces while creating attractive focal points.
Visitors looking for ideas can explore Flower Power’s display garden, where different planting combinations and landscaping concepts demonstrate what works well in Lanzarote’s conditions. Seeing mature gardens in person often makes it easier to visualise possibilities for a home project.
As more people spend evenings outdoors during the summer, investing in plants suited to the local environment can help ensure gardens remain welcoming throughout the season without requiring constant replacement or intensive care.
