    Default Can anyone recomend any..

    any great flowers or perennials for very hot weather, not alot of natural rain, 6-7 months summer heat.

    any that you have had great success with or wanted to try should the weather permit

    begonias would be a good annual for such a condition. Iceplants would make a good perennial, as would sedums.

    This may be of use:

    xeriscaping is gardening in hot dry climates. So searching for xeriscape plants would be your best bet.

    SmartGardener.com has a huge database of thousands of plants free to the public - you can browse through the plants and filter by the growing conditions like hot or warm.

    Rhudebeckias or black-eyed susans only require an inch of water a weeks. Of course I live in michigan and an inch of rain in a week seems dry to me
