The many faces of Lantana...
Ah, the many varied faces of the Lantana in my garden.
This time of year they are in full bloom -- amazingly happy in the stifling heat that has so many other plants withering on the vine.
And while I secretly find them a little ordinary (ssshhhh... don't tell them) they consistently perform for me under the toughest drought conditions.
So, here's to you -- all the Lantanas out there -- who bring bright, hot color to our very hot gardens in the middle of the Texas summer!
Can you believe this one is called "
horrida
?"
It's native and grows really well, but what a horrible name!
Confetti
Trailing Lantana
New Gold
Maybe more
horrida
, though it looks red to me, not orange so I'm not sure.
