Beat the heat with a garden display full of unique sun-loving plants.<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The choices are endless for these collectible plants. They are all truly thrillers! Their unique shapes, colors, and blooms make them perfect stand-alone stars.<\/p>\n

Plant one per pot, then group them in a coordinating container series. Or combine a few of your favorites and let them do their thing.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cordyline Red Sensation<\/a>\u00a0Very easy to grow in virtually any location.\u00a0Deep red-burgundy sword-like leaves make this an outstanding choice as a focal point.<\/li>\n
  2. Crown of Thorns\u00a0<\/a>This flowering succulent loves the sun but can do great as a houseplant. Planted in the ground, it can grow quite large. Protect from a freeze.<\/li>\n
  3. Aptenia Variegated<\/a> or Baby Sun Rose is a trailing succulent perfect for spilling over the edges of your pot. They also make a great groundcover option.<\/li>\n
  4. Stapelia Gigantica<\/a>\u00a0This unique succulent is known for having one of the largest flowers in the plant kingdom. Although the blooms are beautiful, their common name, “Carrion Flower,” suggests you might not want to give them a sniff.<\/li>\n
  5. Aloe Vera<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0not just beautiful when it shoots up striking red spikes that are sure to thrill. Break off a leaf and use the gell-like sap to ease sunburns and insect bites!<\/li>\n
  6. Mangave Blazing Saddles\u00a0<\/a>This amazing hybrid was designed to be a star in any landscape! A cross between Agave and Manfreda, the resulting spotted leaves and rosette shape make it simply gorgeous.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
