My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Hi. I have this exact Lantana bush year round and I live in South Texas. Needs lots of water to bloom. My mom plants them in NW Minnesota during the summer. She has to replant a new bush every year.

      It's called Lantana. One of the few things that thrive in the dry, hot west Texas sun!

      do you think it would survive in the green, wet Seattle area?

      Well, I'm no horticulturist, but I did find these articles that might help. It may do well as long as the soil is well-drained.

      we plant this every year in VA too. You can propagate by taking a clipping of fresh growth and just sticking it in soil. We also bring a few plants of each color in every year and put them in our garage under lights then use clippings from the plant in the spring to replant. They last from about April/May through October/November in VA
