question for all you experienced gardeners:
i have a set of planters that look kind of like this:
they've sat empty for the last two years because i just never got my act together. this year i'm determined to change that. i want to plant SOMETHING. preferably something that actually flowers, rather than something that just stays green all the time. it'd be completely exposed, so it'd have to be something that can handle extreme sun/heat in the middle of the summer (moving the planters is not an option. they weigh a ton. seriously, they will be sold with the house. i cannot move them). and i'm obviously just now getting started, so it'd have to be something that could be planted now.
anybody have any ideas? and if you can give me a recommendation on the plant itself, is there anything else in particular i need to know about potted plants? i honestly have not done anything with potted plants since i moved out of my parent's house, so i have very little experience with/knowledge about the topic.
