I planted 5 of these plants behind the orange marigolds in the Halloween garden...are they lantana or what? I can't remember the name! What a dummy...I should have written it down. I think the leaves are different from the pics I see online of Lantana. It looks pretty with the orange...they are all blooming again now after the rains had washed all the flowers off. They seem kinda fragile.
That is Verbena, and no it is not fragile. Overwatering will kill it, make sure it has great drainage too. I love Verbena and have killed many!
ReplyDeletethat's verbena....
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful plant but I don't think it is a lantana. It seems like I have seen it before. Sorry I can't help you. It sure is pretty no matter what it is.
ReplyDeleteCould it be Verbena? Your plant portraits are so pretty. Thank you for all your encouragement when you visit my blog. It means so much.
ReplyDeleteNot sure Julie, but it might be verbena? I have done the same thing...planted something and either lost or tossed the tag.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, whatever it is! :)
It looks like verbena to me. The teeth on the leaves of my lantana are sharper looking than those, and it has more flowers in a cluster, smaller and closer together.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet it does look nice with the orange!
Thanks everyone!!! It looks like verbena when I looked on Google images. I really love the color and the flower structure.
ReplyDeleteDef a verbena... I was thinking about doing something with black pansies... but I got too damned lazy... LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Julie *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI was going to say I can't help you but now that people have told you I remember..*s*...now we both know for sure.
Pretty purple flower...and in your Hallowe'en garden...
Hope you have been well and not working sooooo hard. Hope your weather is superly nice...we've had some rain but its been so nice otherwise. Our Thanksgiving weather was in the upper 70s....
Hope you have a good rest of the evening..actually it is late my dear..

ReplyDeleteWell, there you have it...the general consensus says - Verbena. What a pretty purple!
