Heat is tough on gardens and gardeners. It's not a surprise that it's hot this time of year. But if you planned for it, planted the right kind of annuals, and maintained them, you should have a great display. If not, pay attention to this list for next summer. These plants perform well in the heat, either in pots or in the ground: Dahlias, 'Bubblegum' petunia, sweet potato, tall ageratum, zinnias, marigolds, lantana, creeping zinnia (Sanvitalia), cannas, tall verbena, celosia, Oriental lilies, plectranthus, purple heart setcreasea and coleus.
