Find a sun-soaked spot for this container and get out your gardening gloves, as lantana can irritate sensitive skin. Add crocks to the bottom of the pot and half-fill it with compost.
-
Position the gazanias and the lantana in the middle of the pot and surround them with santivalia plants. Fill the gaps around your plants with compost, firming it in with your fingers. Lantana are tender, so bring this pot under cover at night if there's a threat of frost.
"Santivalia are one of the easiest plants to grow. Chop them back if they begin to get unruly."
"Lantana is a tender plant that needs to be brought indoors for winter, or you can take cuttings in summer. "
