What are your favorite hot and humid weather plants?

Arkansas Traveler tomato slows down a bit, but keeps setting fruit for my full summer.

Cowpeas are grown by farmers with only rain. It is usually planted about the same time as our seasonal drought begins. Cowpeas at Southern Seedsavers Exchange.

I bought a farm-sized bag of cowpeas this year and am blown away by the growth!  Mine are at 6+ inches in less than two weeks after sowing

Tomato: Purple Cherokee - gloriously productive if the temp stays between about 70-85F, but goes dormant or dies above that
              Roma - sad, only produces until the weather is in the 80's then dies
              Cherry (hybrids) - I bought a few packs of assorted cherry tomato seeds a few years ago and try to cross pollinate them.  I now get constant production from about a third of my starts while the other 2/3 die by 90F
Okra (Hill Country Red) - consistent, productive, and resilient.  I usually get one harvestable pod per plant every other day
Amaranth (Hopi Red) - almost becomes a weed with how quickly it grows and how many seeds it produces.  Provides a pretty purple color on the green and brown garden background
True Indigo - one of my favorite shrub layer plants.  Produces countless blossoms (bees love it) and is a N-fixer.  I trim the limbs regularly to use as compost/mulch
Vitex - lavender-like scent and crazy drought tolerance.  Blooms are gorgeous and attract pollinators all day long

Tropical plants like hibiscus and ferns thrive best in hot and humid weather. Their care is simple, just like using <a href="https://180ctof.com/convert-celsius-to-fahrenheit/">centigrade to fahrenheit conversion</a>
