I don't know about you all but some of my containers are looking terrible. In the last few days the weather has been extremely hot and trying to keep them watered is next to impossible. The boxes of those beautiful Terracotta Petchea are now so ugly, no flowers, the silver is rotting in the center. There was all that rain and then 90 deg. heat and it was just to sudden a change for them. Lesson learned for future years. Those boxes do not have much room for medium and I think that is part of the problem. Can not blame it all on the weather, they can not grow if they do not have soil and space. Usually they have been beautiful no matter what I put in them. This year a complete flop after July 1st.
