Need suggestions

[desertgirl]

I found some old railroad ties in the cull section of home depot, and fashioned a planter out of them with rebar. I would like to make it a flower bed, maybe trying something new. Any suggestions? Specs-am sun, shade in the afternoon, and must be able to withstand NM heat this summer. I would love hardy, colorful, and aromatic flowers. Suggestions?

Hi Desertgirl I suggest checking out BotanicalInterests.com and checking out the Botanic Garden Series. It's a collection of seeds that are native to North America. Most are xeric and attract humming birds and butterflys.

Hope this helps.

There are some fragrant daylillies if you're interested in perennials. They grow wonderfully in any soil and in any if they can withstand arizona, NM will be like heaven.
