Chris Olsen from Botanica Gardens always has great advice on home and gardening projects.

A sun-loving summer border offers an astounding array of vibrant flower colors, which are not on display at any other time of year except for the next several months.

Chris' picks for the Southern heat are summer snap dragons, yellow lantana, rudbeckia, blue veronica, blue saliva or any color, Mexican zinnia, and some wave petunias. Plant a combo of these tough plants and you will have one awesome border this year.
