Cosmos:

This summer annual tolerates the drought,  our poor soil & thrives in our Central Texas heat. Enjoy their lacy foliage & colorful blooms from vibrant yellow and orange to the pretty pinks and whites!!

Purslane:

This gorgeous bloomer brightens the garden with large, colorful flowers that really take our heat and are considered to be relatively drought tolerant. Flowers open up in the morning until sunset. They look great in rock gardens & planted in masses.

Portulaca (Moss Rose):

This low growing annual has terrific vigor and quick takeoff in the landscape. Their brightly colored blooms open in the bright sunlight. They do great in containers and attractively trail over.

Celosia (Cockscomb):

Super heat tolerant, this annual is as unique as they come. Loves full sun and they provide texture and color in the landscape.  They can be used as borders or edging in landscape as well as great accent plants in containers.

1. Scoop potting mix into the pot until it fills the lowest openings. You can also put PVC pipe vertically in the center of the pot while adding more potting mix, this helps with distributing the water.
2. Carefully remove a plant from its container and separate it into sections. Set plants into the lowest pockets, and pack potting mix firmly around the roots.
3. Continue scooping potting mix into the pot to the higher openings; plant these the same way.
4. Repeat this process, working upward, until all of the openings are filled. Plant the top of the pot as you would a standard pot.
5. Water the top of the pot, pouring some water through the PVC pipe, and water each pocket gently to avoid flooding and dislodging roots.
6. Turn the pot every few days to provide plants with equal exposure to the sun.
