Some of the plants I have on my roof garden....

Hot Spot - cannas, ginger, succulents all love it

 

 

The roof garden gets HOT !!
So there are a lot of succulents, 
cannas, gingers, helychrysums
 etc that love the heat.
 
As a total contract, the wall at the
back provides constant shade for 
a few larges hosta.
ALL plants are in containers of one 
form or another and need watering 
every day when its really warm.
Things like californian poppies and 
mini pansies tend to self seed in 
the gravel.
