Plants for High Temperatures
Okay, so I read that over 86F plants start to stress out. For most of the year, my state is in temperatures over 86F.
I live in Peoria, Arizona (USA)
The USDA Plant Hardiness in my area is 9.
My AHS heat zone is 11.
The winters are weird beause during the day, it's pretty warm. It's really cold at night though, here is an example of what it would be like November to March:
November
Average high temperature: 75
Average low temperature: 48
Warmest ever: 93
Coldest ever: 25
Average precipitation: .6
December
Average high temperature: 66
Average low temperature: 42
Warmest ever: 88
Coldest ever: 22
Average precipitation: .9
January
Average high temperature: 66
Average low temperature: 41
Warmest ever: 88
Coldest ever: 17
Average precipitation: .8
February
Average high temperature: 70
Average low temperature: 44
Warmest ever: 92
Coldest ever: 22
Average precipitation: .6
March
Average high temperature: 75
Average low temperature: 49
Warmest ever: 100
Coldest ever: 25
Average precipitation: .9
It gets really warm in the summer though with the high being 113F in June/July and the lows being around 80. I think the hottest times would be around 120 degrees in the summer.
Are there any plants that can comfortably live outside in my area?? Thanks!
