Answer

For summer storms in South Florida, choose Florida-tough plants like blue daze, clusia, and native groundcovers that resist heavy rain and intense heat. Avoid delicate annuals like petunias that shred easily during storms. These resilient plants have deep root systems and flexible stems to withstand wind and water saturation. Incorporating layered plantings and adding mulch beds reduces soil erosion and keeps your landscape lush even after cloudbursts.
