Too hot for Pots


Several years ago we added a balcony off the kitchen. The setting provides a wonderful view of the back gardens and we take advantage of this almost every night. However, it is South facing and we have 2 urns built into the railing. It is SO HOT during the summer months, we are very limited as to what will succeed in them. After several attempts, we have stuck with a combination of low succulents surrounding a cool cactus. The small space for soil and their tolerance of afternoon heat are perfect for the conditions. They even have faired well with the winter winds. Low maintanance is becoming a good friend!
