Angel's Trumpet
In full bloom, a good-size angel's trumpet is absolutely stunning. The hanging flowers are indeed trumpet-shape and can reach more than 1 foot long, depending on variety.
Perfect for creating a lush, tropical look, canna offers large leaves (variegated in many varieties) and glowing flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow, and pink.
Canna
Angelonia
This adaptable flower is sometimes called summer snapdragon. It’s spikes of purple, white, or pink flowers appear all summer long, no matter how high the temperature may be.
Salvia
A wonderful, heat- and drought-tolerant plant with indigo-blue flowers, 'Black and Blue' salvia also attracts lots of birds and butterflies.
Bamboo
Although it's a fast-spreading menace when grown in the ground, bamboo is a dramatic specimen plant when grown in a large container (where it can't escape). It makes a perfect, fast-growing screen.
