Hi all, I've done a bit of vegie gardening but I'm not very confident in my ability to nurture flowers nor to choose the right ones. I've been inspired to brighten up my apartment balcony. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for flowers that would stand up to long afternoon sun for what will be another hot summer soon. I've got my ideas for [URL="http://lakeviewatsuperstitionsprings.com/Bal cony-Gardening.aspx"]balcony flower containers[/URL] sorted but any suggestions or word on your favourite blossoms would be appreciated! Thanks!  dd |

bright bloom welcome to GG . Do you live in Masa Az.? Does your balcony have a roof on it? Any plants you put in pots in the summer are going to need to be watered at least once a day everyday. swindyi |

I don't know about flowers that would withstand the heat in AZ, but herbs should do quite well. I used to grow herbs on a sunny balcony with great success. |

Verbena, candy tuft, lamb's ear, geraniums, marigolds, nasturtiums, dusty miller. |

Well, in AZ you probably couldn't do my fav balcony flower...Fushia, they seem to like our cold wet weather. But herbs do well, and mexican sage develops some beautiful flowers and showy foliage. |

My GERANIUMS do AWESOME in the patio in the heat. So do my ROSES in pots ! I put LOBELIA at the bottom for color. Also my SHASTA DAISY is nice in the sun. |
