[Arid_gardener] Re: Flowering Plants in Hanging baskets

[Olin Miller]

There are quite a few plants that could be grown in hanging containers 
from late fall to early spring.  But from late spring to early fall, I 
can't think of any that would grow and survive in our dry weather and 
blazing desert sun.  The sun, heat and dry summer breezes are too hot 
for the roots and the sun would burn up an blossoms.
