Great Performers


Here are some Great Performers during the record setting drought and heat this summer,
and weekends spent away from the garden.
Wow, aren't we asking alot from these pretty flowers, to bloom either during or after the triple digit heat
and lack of rain. I didn't ask them, and with no extra care at all, they bloomed and thrived.

The performers listed here are flowers only. No veggies, trees, shrubs or herbs, as they are naturally tough.

Lily Scheherazade
a hybrid miracle
hardy, healthy,
tall and pretty.


Lily Black Beauty
a super garden plant



Canna
love all the foliage


Rudbeckia, also called Black-eyed Susan

Not so great performers where the roses and hosta's. The roses put out a few blooms
and the hosta leaves turned brown. Hopefully, next summer, they will get another
chance to perform.

Zinnia's love the heat and drought!
