Re: heat

Thanks all for the heat-loving plant ideas.  I haven't grown verbena 
bonarienses, but have seen lots of discussion about it on this list.  I'll 
have to check it out.  I did have a verbena "homestead purple" that had 
survived the winter in a flowerbox, and I transplanted it to a bed.  I think 
it disappeared however.  I'll look for V.B.

Janet, I don't know the answer about your wilting phlox, unless it's the 
soil.  Mine is planted on the east side of a hedge, on a slope, and in clay 
soil.  Perhaps the combination of afternoon shade, good drainage, and 
moisture retentive soil is the secret??

I do have some bearded iris, stachys and dianthus in the yard, all look a 
little sad right now, however.  But, you're right, they're not dead!  And I 
forgot to mention, three varieties of sedums are thriving.

We got 1/10th of an inch of rain on Friday...whoo, boy!  I had to run out in 
it to remember what it was like!

Thanks, again...I'll keep on watering!
