In my zone 5 garden this trio of annuals was still going strong in mid Oct. I plan to plant the three together again.

Very vibrant combination, love it.

That's a really lovely combo!

Thanks. They did really well inspite of the dought here last year. I've planted the lantana and black and blue sage already but think I'lll get a few of the vinca planted too. The lantana is still really small because the heat hasn't hit yet, but I know it really takes off once it gets hot. Fpr now I have pots of pansies in the area where the lantana will spread as it grows.
