Q: I have a patio that gets full sun for most of the day, meaning it gets very hot in the summer. I want to plant up some containers with flowers – are there any particular types you would recommend that will thrive under these conditions?
A: Container gardening is a great way to brighten up a patio and welcome butterflies and bees to your yard. It's true that not all flowers will tolerate high levels of heat and sunshine, but many will flourish in a sunny setting, especially if you look after them properly.
