Plants that Beat the Heat! Drought and Heat Tolerant Plants

The warm season can be pretty rough on plants sometimes, especially in more arid areas of the US. Spring and early Summer are generally the time when the landscape looks it's best... but as temps rise, many plants tend to look tired, wilted, and just plan nasty. These 5 plants will THRIVE in heat where other tender perennials might be scorched.
