Lucky Lavender Lantana with its dark green foliage contrasts nicely with the lavender/yellow flower color. This variety tolerates the heat, humidity and drought conditions well. Unlike other lantanas that can get a little 'wild' looking, this variety stays more compact and controlled. This variety will work well in pots, baskets or in the ground. Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds and bees. Deer resistant, but it is poisonous, so plant in an area little hands can't reach.
Say hello to the Suncrest line of Salvias. Fire Dancer has blooms that are shades of orange-red. Flamenco Rose has a lovely bright pink blooms with white markings. Orchid Glow has blooms that are orchid to magenta. As with all salvias, they prefer full sun, but can take a small about of light shade. They are drought and heat tolerant and work well in most zones. Cut back mid-season to encourage more blooming.
