Flowers to grow in san diego?
Better question would be what won%26#039;t grow in San Diego





Your choices are limitless
Reply:Hybiscus are native to your area and come in many different colors: red, orange, pink, yellow! They are very easy to take care of, are great plants to grow in large pots and the blooms are very large and showy.


Check the %26quot;zone%26quot; you live in and make sure. Here%26#039;s a link with lots of zone and plant information, as well as plant groupings for different zones, sun, shade, etc. You%26#039;ll also be able to see what plants flower and bloom and what plants are just great coloring foliage.


Two to three inches of mulch on top around the plants helps keep in the moisture, as well as mixing in some potting soil that helps retain moisture. Plants in pots don%26#039;t hold in moisture like the ground so they%26#039;ll have to be watered more frequently.


Happy gardening!
Reply:I love sweet pea bushes, they do well in containers, bloom almost all year long and have a beautiful pink/purple flower with a delicate sweet scent. Plus they are inexpensive, around 5 dollars for a gallon pot. I%26#039;m in north county so we get temps in the 100%26#039;s during the summer so you have to water container bound plants more frequently. Million bells, geraniums, impatiens (for shady areas) hydrangea (also shady loving), petunias (especially the new mounding habit type they have out now), orchids like the epidendrum or Mexican orchid, begonia, columbine, vinca, kilanchloe, sweet breath of heaven, all grow well in containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, and planter boxes in my yard.
Reply:Geraniums. They grow like weeds, they don%26#039;t require much water, and they come in all kinds of flower shapes and colors.
