One from today

Post by gardenkat »

This is one of my pots, photo taken today, I originally had a purple daisy-like thing in there too, but it looks like the other plants have crowded it out. That's OK, I like it anyway.

Very pretty. Is that orange flower the lantana? I like that, how tall does it get?

I have a lantana in one of my pots with sweet potato vine and coleus. I like it mixed with other plants, but don't have luck with it on it's own, it always ends up looking scraggly for me.

Your combo looks great!
:D

Start slowly . . . then taper off.

The last time I planted lantana, I just stuck in the ground:

OC hasn't planted Lantana in a long time. Doesn't do well in our late summer heat and draught, and doesn't come back the next spring...Your are pretty.......OC
