The heat is on

Here in Central Texas we have seen consistent triple digit
temperatures since mid June and summer has just begun! What's a
gardener to do? Enter Tithonia. This plant just screams HOT! Common
name is Mexican torch flower and it lives up to it's name with
scorching orange color that's as guady as it gets. This plant is super
heat tolerant, easy to grow from seed, and if that's not enough, it's
also a butterfly magnet. Check it out.
