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


Lantana

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.

Jeff, Lantana is in the Verbena Family. (not all plants with square
stems are Mint Family;
but all mints have square stems).
