Hi everyone,

Any advice on what summer plants I can put in a tub that'll be in the
sun but won't get much watering - long story I won't bore you with
but I could really do with some advice. So far I've drawn a blank.
Cheers, Steve

I was going to say that. I believe lantana is in the mint family (square
stem), but when I googled up mints I came up with average water needs.
Not sure what is going on. I have had mixed luck and currently have none.
