| I live in Southern Ca. most of the year but move to New Iberia, LA every summer. I want to add to my daughter's flower garden the first week of June. Any suggestions as to what I can plant in the heat? |

There are quite alot of choices depending on if you want shrubs, perennials, or annuals, in sun or shade. But here are some excellent choices (gardened 25 yrs in Louisiana):
lantana
pentas
knockout roses
salvia/sage
mandevilla
hibiscus
canna lillies
ginger
moonvine
sunflowers -big or small
zinnias - profusion zinnias
ruellia
there's more but these are tried and true |
