Hi everyone,

Any advice on what summer plants I can put in a tub that'll be in the
sun but won't get much watering - long story I won't bore you with but I
could really do with some advice. So far I've drawn a blank. Cheers,
Steve

Porchulaca (sp). I have heard some call it prim rose too. Bright
flowers and very little water.

Portulaca has succulent foliage, abd will do well with little water -
any succulent will, and there are many. Zinnias, once established, seem
to largely shrug off drought conditions, but will need watering once in
a while. There are many others, too.
