What flowers do you recommend for very hot climates?


Question:My back yard has no shade and gets very hot in the summer (100+). Any suggestions on what type of flowers to plant.

Answers:
Marigolds, California poppies, ice plant, and bouganvillea do well. Plant some oak trees for shade, they are very drought resistant.
