Hanging baskets in Arizona
I am a recent transplant from the midwest to Arizona (Lake Havasu City).
I don't see very many outdoor hanging baskets here. Don't they do well in the hot climate here? Sharon |

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.

Don't do well in summer. Keep the pots shaded from the summer sun - roots will get too hot. Will also need to be watered at least once daily in summer depending on the pot size, pot material, and plant type and size. Olin Phoenix AZ (since 1966) |
