Ya Gotta Love Lantana!
Q
Comments (19)
Lantana are one of my favorites both for the sheer mass of blooms and the fact that the gophers leave them alone. I tuck them in everywhere; around roses and leggy shrubs, over open areas that are hot and dry and basically neglected, and they thrive. I just planted a good sized bed of them around the bottle trees that I expect will come into their full glory next year. (IOW, 3 to 4 feet and blooming like there's no tomorrow) I have the solid white, white/yellow center, pink/yellow (reminds me of a birthday party), red/orange (Dallas red), solid orange, pure gold and a bright, lemony yellow without the orange undertones. I also have another variety called "Lucky Peach", which is a dark peachy pink with a yellow center. They're such happy volunteers that I don't see how you can prevent Lantana drupes from sprouting. Seedlings can always be transplanted to other, less colorful corners of the yard, but never near walkways as they do have that slight prickly/thorny habit that can scratch the unwary. I've successfully moved a 3 foot tall blooming plant in July; yes, it wilted something awful, but I kept it watered well and within 4 weeks it was blooming again. Lantana is one tough cookie.

It's so funny to me to see this thread here today - I was just explaining the cleaning benefits of Tang and dishwashers to our cleaning ladies that clean units for us at work - they were looking at me like I had lost my mind when I told them Tang is absolutely the best product out there to bring a dishwasher back to sparkling white! They tried it and are now believers...I guess it's maybe not a bad thing if Tang cleans the gunk out of our insides as well, but I have not had a glass since it became a cleaner in my mind. Kind of like the Avon Bubble Bath - my avon lady gave me a list of all the things it will clean around the house, some very dirty situations...kind of turned me off using it in my bath! Suzan J

Lots o' seeds. Lots o' dirt. No ready-made plants (well, only a few onions). No grandkids to "help". Actually ... I should be out there, right now ... ... lots! yet to do ... ... not playing on the computer, here at the church (after the old guys' coffee hour). And during the hoeing, staking, stringing lines, running the cuts and dropping in the seeds (or pushing them down into the dirt) ... ... then watering ... ... I found out that I have a lot more muscles than I'd thought ... ... that I get tired with all of that exercise ... ... and that I'm getting old! ole joyfuelled

Hi Seaglass

For future reference, it might work better to highlight then copy the link, then open a new tab in the "File" dropdown menu, and paste the link. (Its hard to retype a link exactly for some reason, you're not alone there!)

But I'll try to post it here as an active link for you

Its definitely worth looking at.

Hi - Kathy directed me here (thank you very much!).

The gazebo is great. I thought I'd add that the crisscross lattice work at the top of the gazebo is used for fencing in Switzerland and looks adorable with bunches of flowers behind it. I could post a pic if someone could tell me how :).
