30 Heat-Tolerant Container Gardens for Sweltering Summers
You're doing your best to beat the heat this summer—shouldn't your containers do the same? Sweltering temps can take a toll on your favorite planters, so we have a few ideas for you. These plant-combination ideas will help you construct a container garden full of heat-resistant plants that will thrive even on triple-digit days. These containers love full sun and heat, and implementing these tips will help your garden coast smoothly through the dog days—calm, cool, and collected.
