Well, I certainly did... My mistake was growing them in planters, where they succumbed to (my best guess) overwatering. So you're doing it absolutely right, as in, straight in the ground, even if it's in a railroad tie!camissonia (Arleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10156059239148602974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931047177612869157.post-45101958738449472472010-05-19T19:07:15.361-07:002010-05-19T19:07:15.361-07:00And that is the reason why Lantana is also one of ...And that is the reason why Lantana is also one of my favorites :-)Noelle Johnson https://www.blogger.com/profile/12198931083102476324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931047177612869157.post-52250435873890183002010-05-19T12:06:54.984-07:002010-05-19T12:06:54.984-07:00Yes, Curbstone.

I thought they were just volunteers, but yanking them out pulls a root out all the way back to the main plant.

I'm sure it will grow.<br /><br />ART, ours only get watered by Mr. I-Never-Saw-Anything-Green-I-Didn't-Want-to-Water-Five-Times-a-Day next door. This particular little guy, though, is out of shot of those cannons the neighbor has for sprinklers.<br /><br />IG, truer words have never been spoken.<br /><br />Sherlock, I'm sure I would get used to it, but I would think it would be quite frustrating to lose my plants every year.
