Default Hanging baskets in Arizona

I don't see very many outdoor hanging baskets here. Don't they do well
in the hot climate here?


In a shaded spot, with a water-proof liner, and watered DAILY,
drought-tolerant heat resistent plants have a slight chance of
surviving.

But between the 50MPH gusts, the 5% humidity, and the baking 120+
summer temps, it works best if you have fade-proof plastic
flowers in pots that are bolted to concrete.
