Flowers in patio pots, window boxes, and hanging baskets are breathtakingly beautiful. The containers can be placed outdoors but should be fed well as the summer progresses.

Many flower gardens look great in spring and early summer but begin to flag when summer heat hits and the sun beats down day in and day out. Sadly, by midsummer, many flower gardens look past their prime. By planting flowers that thrive in heat and bloom in mid to late summer, you can keep your flower garden looking fresh and full of vitality all season long.
