We're heading into the heart of the gardening season - when your plants are in the ground and it's watering and maintenance time. Another aspect of Summer you'll also have to deal with is the heat! Add these heat lovers to your garden or planters, so you can be sure they won't wilt in the weather as long as they are watered regularly.

> Landmark™ Lantana

The best landscape Lantana around, the Landmark series offers strong plants with beautiful flower clusters. Not only do they hold up against the heat, but they bounce back well from rain and other stressful conditions.

Don’t let the tiny, orchid-like flowers fool you – this is one tough plant! Angelonia grows even better when it’s hot and humid, plus the upright growth makes for outstanding garden displays.

A North American native, Helenium is easy to care for and very reliable. Not only does it love hot and humid conditions, but it thrives during dry spells as well.

For something bold without the bloom, this foliage plant is ideal. These vigorous plants continue to spread their deep purple tendrils throughout the garden and container. Plant in full sun to get the deepest color possible.
