Container #33: Coral Highlights

May 22, 2020 By Cindy Jungman, SDSU Extension Master Gardener

In Container #7, I showed the acalypha plant with cinnamon-colored petunias. In this container, I used coral colored verbena and petunias to bring out the coral colors in the acalypha leaves. This container also uses one of my favorite “spiller” plants, the Lotus Vine.

RECIPE:
• (1) Acalypha “Copperleaf Plant”
• (1) Verbena “Lascar Mango Orange”
• (1) Petunia “African Sunset”
• (3) Vinca “Cora Apricot”
• (1) Lotus Vine “Parrot’s Beak”

TIPS:
• Remove spent verbena blossoms often to encourage more blooms.
• Trim back the petunia occasionally to keep it from getting spindly.
