Summer is almost here, and for the Valley’s amateur gardeners that means picking plants that are hardy enough to survive the 115-degree days we all know and love.
- Axios Phoenix called a couple of local nurseries and got some advice on what to plant as temperatures heat up.
Details: Moon Valley Nurseries told us their top recommendation right now is for summer flowers, specifically vincas.
- Whitfill Nursery suggested Angelonia and Gomphrena as other good options for summer flowers.
- If you’re looking to plant some fruits and vegetables, try cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, squashes, pumpkins and watermelons — anything with seeds on the inside — along with rosemary and thyme.
Meanwhile, for your non-summer plants, keep them watered with good, deep soaks, usually every day or every other day, Moon Valley told us.
