b'Hot, Dry and Lovin ItLearning which types of flowers and plants are survivors in the hot, dry climates of the Southwest takes some time to master. Few plants thrive in parched soils with no supplemental water, but the high light levels endemic to such regions drawout the best in many kinds of flowering plants.Sun loving plants that can handle dry conditions tend to be easier to grow in the ground where their roots can seek outavailable moisture. When working with containers, youll have better luck using large pots that can hold a greater soilvolume and wont dry out as quickly. Choose plants that thrive with less water unless your container is aself-watering AquaPot, which will broaden your planting options.
