What are the best annuals for hot weather and not much sun? |
Heat tolerant plants include: Moss Rose (Portulaca) - Perhaps the most heat and drought tolerant bedding plant available. Texas Bluebells (Lisianthus) - A native Texas plant. Zinnias -Very colorful, easy to direct seed. Periwinkle (Vinca) - Just about the best summer annual available. Lantana - Can be grown as a perennial in East Texas. Impatiens - One of the few annuals that will do well in shade and still tolerate the heat. These are just a few suggestions. Check with your local nursery for other heat tolerant annuals to put some color in your landscape for the summer. |
