Planting Outdoors or in containers

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Plant in ordinary soil, drought tolerant, heat tolerant, sandy soil tolerant, frost tolerant to 30F with minimal damage, so good for extending season both in spring and in fall. Somewhat salt tolerant.This is the perfect plant for almost all gardens. They don't just tolerate heat - they love it, yet they can withstand surprisingly cold temperatures also. In containers regular fertilization will be helpful, but in the landscape they will tolerate poor soils and low fertility. However, a dose of slow-release fertilizer or some compost added at the time of planting would be helpful.
