I'm a lazy gardener. I try to buy carefree plants.
But I'm limited because I need plants that can take our extreme heat and blazing hot sun.
Pride of Barbados likes this weather, but it can't take a freeze.
It is rated for Zone 9 climate and I live in Zone 8.
Once every few years, we get a couple nights in the teens(F.) and bam...
everyone's tropicals die.
I learned this the hard way, and now I am more selective about what I plant in the garden.
So, I admire my neighbor's Pride of Barbados instead of growing my own.
