I had to transplant the petunia that was grown in this hanging pot on the front porch to a shadier spot and exchange that with portulaca and purslane. The petunia could not take the heat and tends to wilt very quickly despite a lot of watering. I have been growing portulaca and purslane in hanging / wall pots and they proof to be the winner. They are really drought resistant, heat resistant, profusely blooming, and just look good until the frost hit them.

Coral Drift Rose blooms at the bottom.
Red portulaca and salmon purslane,
with Ajanica Pacifica at the bottom, and moon flower and morning glory
climbing a small climber below the hanging pot.
