Keeping your garden can be hard, especially when you're not a green thumb and you're having to deal with this vicious San Antonio heat. Here are some easy tips to help.
Plant Shading Trees and Plants on the West
Choose Plants and Flowers That Like the Heat
- Salvias, which tolerate extreme heat and extreme cold.
- Coreopsis flowers, which are bright yellow and need very little water to thrive.
- Coneflowers that come in a rainbow of colors and can grow up to three feet.
- Rudbeckia, also known as "black-eyed Susan" perennials, which are drought-resistant and grow 48 inches high. Plus, you can cut them and stick them in a vase inside the house; they last longer than most cut flowers.
