I'm in the process of preparing a large container to stand in mixed sun and shade and have put in a chartreuse sweet potato vine and some variegated ivy. I was looking for something more vertical for contrast but couldn't find an annual I really liked.
What kinds of perennials are tough enough for containers? We get some really hot weather in August and I've had a lot of container plants succumb during that time, even with ample water and part shade.
