They'll go nuts over the honeysuckle!

@Newyorkrita When (how early) do your trumpet honeysuckle begin to bloom?

This grows VERY easily from seed & the packets are cheap -- I always find them @ the Dollar Stores. After the first pack you'll be able to harvest the seed & not have to buy them anymore. I'm going to imagine they are annuals for you -- they are for me anyway. You could start them indoors early & the butterflies, bees, & hummers fight over who gets to nectar on it. They do well in pots.
Salvia (Salvia splendens 'Bonfire')

Here, during the highest heat of the day, in full blasting sun & 90+ degrees, they will wilt in the mid afternoon but re-hydrate when it cools down or you water them so don't count them out if they get all witly looking.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
