Love the banner, Fleur. I have always liked the flowers and in FL where they are considered weeds, I still have a couple of bushes "just because".....

| Fleur, great banner! Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

yes it is recognized weed here that has escaped and taken over naturalized bushland locations. Where it's not so invasive, it sure has the prettiest colourful flowers and makes for a delightful banner  If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere. Vincent Van Gough |

@TBGDN The big box "stuff mart" hardware stores sell them as a 'woody' annual here, in Ohio. I'm surprised they don't in your area, being a neighbor state.  Although, perhaps you avoid those places and shop only at real nurseries, like I should  but the real nurseries may carry them around here, as well, come to think of it!

@bloominholes2fill I stay away from the "big box marts" as much as possible for plant material. Locally I have a couple of Amish nurseries that I shop at. I've not seen Lantana there (that I remember), but I will keep an eye open this spring.  Just a side note: I have seen several "box" stores cramming their outdoor areas full of spring "stuff" which I pass on by. I hate to be brutally frank, but I feel some of them are selling "junk".

Yeah, they do, but we've struggled financially for 7 years, almost lost the house three times, and such, so those places have had to be my "go to" "nurseries" for quite some time. Especially for annuals.  I do shop their clearance racks for good bargains, and I've saved a few things here and there!   Edited: There's a very large, family owned nursery opening in North Canton, this season, and I'm "beside myself" excited! They're from a suburb of Cleveland.

| @TBGDN Leon, They sell them at Meijer's in the outdoor garden section. I'm sure you have one like I do. |

| Thanks Marilyn, We have a Meijer's but I haven't checked out their spring set-up yet. I'll give it a look-see before long. Even a fool, when he shuts his mouth, is counted (as being) wise.Proverbs 17:28 MY BLOG |
