Hi!

I live in metro Phoenix. I have a patio with a tall wall, facing west. I don't have anywhere to put plants inside. Even watering twice a day, I've had things up and wither on me outside. Short of the obvious (cactus), what would you recommend for container gardening? I can put things on shelves high enough that they can get sunlight, or leave them in full shade, but that's it.

I suggest moss rose. It's a succulent that loves heat, does well in containers, doesn't like a lot of water, and makes pretty multi-colored flowers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portulaca_grandiflora
