I remember getting that hanging basket mid-July when it was only $10 and loved the lobelia. Whenever I try them though, they always end up drying up in our heat by late July-August, in spite of being watered daily.

This year I found a new Techno series, that's supposed to hold up in the heat. I found 4 of them, 2 different varieties, to see if they really do make it through the hottest days. I'm hoping...
