Today I noticed the forecast for the next week and we are headed for the hot days of summer. Here are a few plant choices that feel fresh and will continue to bloom through the heat... as long as you give them a drink everyday!
I say canna you say...? So I hear this a lot lately! But really what I understand is that it's pronounced like can-nah, not cane-nah. It's one of my favorites because of its graphic and dramatic foliage.
One, singular sensation... Every year I end up having at least one hibiscus. I don't mix other plant materials in the pot with it, because I think it stands alone. Oftentimes I will include it in a grouping of containers. This photo is from 2013 and this plant flourished all summer long. Gorgeous, right? The plant on the left is kangaroo paw. I am in love with this plant. It is native to California, but thrives in our summer sun and comes in many colors from reds to yellows.
