SOME PLANTS REALLY DO LIKE HOT, DRY WEATHER!



When it's as hot outside as it is now, it's good to know that there are plants that actually love hot, dry weather.  You can have a beautiful garden, despite the hot weather outside if you have some of these plants that do well in those conditions:  
PERENNIALS:  Blanket Flower, Daylily, Yarrow, Rock Cress, Silver Mound, Butterfly Weed, Snowbank, Jupiter's Beard, Tickseed, Moonbeam Coreopsis, Sweet William, Maiden Pinks, Coneflower, Lavender, Gayfeather, Flax, Penstemon, Salvia, Black-Eyed Susan, Sedum Autumn Joy, Stonecrop, and Lamb's Ears.
ANNUALS:   Marigolds, Vinca, Sunflower, Lantana, Zinnia, Verbena, and Agapanthus.
This collage show some of my plants that like dry, hot conditions.  By the way, I have some litle seedlings of daylily if anyone is interested.  Enjoy your summer, and keep cool!
