 Flowers that beat the heat beautifully
 
 You might think that there is no hope to have fresh annual color when temperatures climb into the slow-roaster range If so you will be surprised to find out that there actually are plants that do better in heat than headbands suppliers will earlier in the spring. Each of these plants can be bought and planted now as long as you are attentive to good hair flower preparation and regular watering

No plants that we grow handle heat better than these natives to Southwest Texas Colors range from lavender and white to yellow orange and pink and mature heights will be between  and  inches depending on the varieties you choose Many will come back from their roots spring after spring.

This little succulentlike plant will actually germinate grow and bloom in cracks in walks No heat is too intense However for the best blooms that stay open the longest you will want the improved varieties at garden centers now. Colors are bright cheerful and sherbetlike. Each bloom lasts but one day but there will be dozens and dozens more They fold up and go away without littering so its the perfect choice for a sunny poolside planting And so is its first cousin hybrid purslane.

Many of us are timid about planting these out in full sun but the best-looking beds in North Texas are exactly that full bright sunlight. They are wonderful upright growers to  inches tall in shades of red, white and Hair bands
