Your favorite pot is that Johnny jump ups Tri Colors? How many times do you water your plants & what time do you water it? Some people recommend to water plant early in the morning before the sun comes out / up. You have beautiful 💐 🌹 🌸 🏵 🌼 I love it!!!! Would you be able to list all the names of your plants & what do you recommend if you live in a hot weather like Arizona. That have colorful plants/ flowers that can survive in heat. We have a long bed soil to plant against our wall. Then we have a short one against the wall on the side of our house.

Yes, they are viola tricolor! And watering depends on the time of year, but I like to use an app called PictureThis. You can use it to identify plants/flowers, and you can put your location in it and the amount of sun the plant gets, and it will tell you how often to water each plant based on your local climate. It’s very handy!

Welcome! Thank you for subscribing! 😊 I live in zone 7, so I can’t speak for all of Arizona, but some of my favorite heat/drought tolerant perennials are coreopsis, black-eyed susan’s, salvia, and lantana. Rose moss and purslane/portulaca are some of my favorite succulent varieties that have really pretty blooms as well! I’ve always used Miracle Grow products, and they seem to work well for me, but I haven’t tried too many other brands. I hope you have fun picking out plants for your new yard!

[@michellemilot7632]

Thank you so much for responding and the information I will definitely check these out for sure!!! It's getting hotter in Arizona hopefully I can get some planting done!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 All your plants are so beautiful. Just got some Johnny jump ups today and some New Zealand Spinach. Yarrow sure looks beautiful as well!!! Have a good day or evening!

Make it easier with a pressure washer😊

[@StarlightDreamer95]

Oh definitely! I’ll have to try one someday!

[@gingernotturno5365]

you don't have any herbs or vegetables among the flowers? Rosemary and mint will make your yard smell good and keep some of the bugs away

[@StarlightDreamer95]

We have some tomato plants and a catnip plant for the cats, but no other herbs or veggies just yet! Hopefully soon though! 😊
