My suspicion would be that humidity's a factor. They're Mediterranean plants, so I imagine they like that dry heat. The flowers on these lean a bit sometimes, but they've never flopped. I'm trying a new one called Phlomis cashmeriana, planted tiny but growing like gangbusters. Hoping for good things! (Did it email you when I replied to this, BTW?)

The latter name is what my Jerusalem sage was sold under. It looks great in April and May here but it really hates the heat, although it survives it. It just wilts every day. It's incredibly easy to root from cutting, though. Is there a difference between Phlomis russeliana and Phlomis lanata? The latter name is what my Jerusalem sage was sold under.

Pomona: You're right, I've been surprised at some drought tolerant plants. I'll check out your series. Kerry: Bigger image on the way! I do have to get my act together with perennials too. I like the way some people will use them in containers through the season and plant in fall. My choices were a bit limited since I wanted to do organic from Goose Cove, but it's in the cards. mss @ Zanthan: Ha! You are SO correct -- drought tolerant in Massachusetts is different than drought tolerant in Texas. I am fascinated with some plants you guys can grow that we can't because of winter moisture and cold. But yeah, this was a rainy, cloudy month too. July and August really will be the true tests. Still, I'm SOOOOO glad not to be watering thirsty, store-bought, overfertilized hanging baskets like last year. Sheesh. Thanks, guys, for the comments!

Then I read the line that you hadn't watered the pots in a month, letting Mother Nature take it from there. A month! And I thought, "Where are gardening!?!" Oh. Massachusetts. I guess Mother Nature does a little more work up your way. Down here it's the devil's own country. I jumped over here from Twitter when I saw “drought tolerant”.

No reason to only use annuals. I often go shopping in my gardens for perennials for containers. P.S. No reason to only use annuals. I often go shopping in my gardens for perennials for containers.
