I'm way north of your area but last summer was so devastating that everything was literally cooking. I have a canopy (that previously was a screen house until the squirrels did their thing) and we dug and potted everything we could including 5 hydrangeas and put them under the canopy.....so sorry I still don't know what they are except they have huge flowers....one is the red something that has small flowers. When the heat wave broke and it cooled late in the fall I relocated all of them in shade with bright light. This Spring they haven't skipped a beat. My beds are heavily amended and of course Epsom Salt on everything.

Don't you just hate it that I am so dumb I can't really give you all the information. Went to HD yesterday. Bought 3 Ever and Ever and 1 Endless Summer. Making the front bed over completely and these will be the focal point. Hopefully fill in the majority of the area. All shade. These two were planted early April, 2007. The rain and wind broke off the banana leaf.
