One of my neighbors grows lots of Celosias out front, they're still growing strong here too. Hostas still look good with all the rain we've had

rcn, I had to water those Heleniums almost every day this summer - they're seedlings, they like full sun and wet locations, but we didn't get much rain earlier this summer, so I dragged the hose out there everyday and watered the younger daylilies while I was at it. Generally I try to avoid water-loving plants, at least out front where it's full sun.

You know how lots of guys have a pathological lawnmower fetish? While they were out there mowing, I was watering. (But never the lawn!)

Salvia 'Strata' and a few baloon flowers still floating around
