Mexican Heather

I started with a 6" starter plant, Mexican Heather by Allyson Plants. I planted it in a small terra-cotta pot in afternoon sun. I had one of these in 2008 in my vegetable garden and it quickly took over, beautiful blooms all summer and lovely dark green leaves.

Growing Tips: Mexican Heather prefers full sun or partial sun. It will spread quite a bit unless it is in a container garden. Likes being watered daily when weather is hot.
