Hardy plants for full sun in pots

Summers are in to full effect with strong heatwaves in my region .Now the time has come  to save the plants from direct harsh sunlight and strong heatwaves by keeping them in shaded area.While most of the houseplants can't take the summer heat in my region and are kept in shaded environment or if possible indoors only  few of these hardy houseplants can withstand heatwaves and even strive  in full sun with periodical irrigation 

                                                                      Agave Plant

                                                                      
                                                                                 
   Agave are beautiful hardy plants that can survive blistering hot conditions without requirement of water on regular basis .They can be grown in small pots too and can be used in rockeries and creating landscapes.
                                                                              


Although there are many varieties of Agave but these two varieties perform really well when our temperature touches 40 c mark in summer.The above one is Agave Angustifolia and below one is variegated variety of Agave Americana  .                                                                                 

                                                                                  
Variegated Agave Plant



Both types of Agave perform really well in hot summer days with added advantage of getting  free plants in the form of puffs that appear from the root of mother plant.                                                     

                                                             Rhoe or Moses in the craddle Plant   
                                       
Rhoe plant is another drought tolerant hardy plant that can withstand blistering hot temperature of summer in our region.

                                                                         Tri color variety of Rhoe



Rhoe plants are beautiful ornamental leaves plant that can bear drought conditions up to  infinite days .They are best to add as an ground cover for the vacant areas in garden and does contrast beautifully with every plant.

They can be planted  in attractive planters to add an beauty element to a corner of garden 


                                          This pic shows Rhoe plant grown in Pigeon Ceramic Planter           



When we talk about hardy plant that can flower withstanding temperature between 40 to 45 c in summer Bougainvillea is the best plant that can tolerate drought conditions and still give regular flowering in garden.

  1. We are in California and we have killed a number of bougainvillea. I think there's not enough sun and heat here.

  3. Your Agave looks cool. I had given up hope on Agave as they are often heavily infested with mealybugs in my place. And these are often farmed by ants and the infestation does spread to other plants. Eventually the plant had suffered badly and died.

    Also the mean looking spiked leaves and I end up pricked while trying to clean the mealy bugs.

  6. Obviously agaves don't grow in Finland's cool climate, only in conservatories. But they are great ornamental plants, have admired them in Barcelona. Your white bougainvillea is spectacular <3 I have never before seen a white one. Thank you for this pleasure, wishing a great weekend.

  8. We live in a relatively cool climate, but during the hot summer months of July and August I have to water every two days or my plants in containers wilt. - Margy
