Catherine is right...the only 2 plants I know planted in baskets that can "take the heat" lol.....gee maybe I should be a " petunia" lol
seriously: geraniums and petunias and some marigolds.
I would move the baskets into part shade and see if they recover any. :) water sparingly as well as some roots may have rotted.
they do get alot of sun in the mid afternoon till nite....that was my first thought (sun)...oh well i guess i have to replace...DH won't even notice...i had them hanging there for 3 days before he even noticed they were there...lol....
Are they getting full sun all day? Then yes, I would think they are getting too much sun and are burning. I think they would prefer some shade during the day to cool down. I think geraniums like full sun...not sure...not a guru gardener...yet...:D
