| Portulaca is great. I don't think it can get too hot for moss rose. My mom used to grow a border filled with it every summer and it was such a riot of color. I've got a hanging basket full now and it has to be watered but it loves the heat. |

| The agastache doesn't seem to mind the heat; it's been good even with minimal watering. Actually, I think most of my flowers are tolerating the heat better than I am. |
