A gardener explains how annual summer flowers such as marigolds and zinnias harden in heat during mini droughts and how to prevent dehydration by deep soil watering. It stresses soil moisture over leaf dampness, plus sanitation to curb disease and pests, and notes greenhouse costs vary by climate and plant types.
