Becky, if you want something that loves hot scorching sun, get some lantana, too. It comes in all colors and it's great.
I have to redo this container, because the lantana is taking over my Uprite EE's. And the sun is getting far too hot this year for the EE's to remain out in it all day. So, I will transplant the EE's to a container in my morning sun/afternoon shade section.
Normally they love this all day sun area.
But not this year. It seems to have stunted their growth and the leaves are getting blotches on them. This is them normally.
