A couple weeks back, we had sustained temperatures of about 29 degrees for about 4 or 5 hours. It pretty much killed everything in my front flower bed.

This morning I pulled everything out, and replaced them with plants that can handle freezing weather. I also put some new mulch down.

I used to pay people to do this kind of work. But I feel like they never did a good job with plant selection. So, I decided to do some research and do it myself.

The red plants will get bigger. About 3 feet tall by 4 feet. The green plants will sprout blue flowers. Both will look great all year. They won’t turn brown in January and die.

What did you plant?

Ha Ha, we had the opposite problen post-Christmas with 100 F degrees plus on and off for several weeks. Our back garden has a metal fence (Colorbond) behind it which seems to act as a reflector for the heat. Combined with high temperatures it cooked several plants/bushes and browned the leaves on a lot of others. Several weeks of drizel have now rejuvenated most plants thankfully.

I have had good luck with the red plants in Florida. They grow very very fast and like lots of water.

Nice job.

Looks great! I miss doing gardening projects like that. I use to do them constantly in warmer climates. Not much since we moved to TN.

Lovely job.
A couple of Bougainvillea, trained up and over the columns, would look beautiful.

We thought about some sort of vine for that. We need something that can survive lots of shade. We face east, and by 12 noon, everything you see is in shade for the rest of the day. But it does get a lot of sun from sunrise to noon.

Gertrude Jekyll and Mortimer Sackler are two fine climbing roses, that tolerate shade very well. Both highly scented.
