Fruity Pebbles Lantana August 17, 2020

 This lantana is so cool!  Love it!  The flowers are pretty - lavender, typical lantana structure.  But what makes this plant so neat are the seed heads.  Bees are particularly drawn to blue/lavender colored flowers.  They will go to other plants of course, but the science has shown they display a preference for blue.  You can see a bumble bee on the flower in the picture below.

Look at these interesting-looking seed heads!  And they form pretty purple seeds.  


You can see from the bamboo stake in this picture that i meant to tie it up.  Never got around to tying it.  This lantana variety wants to grow tall rather than grow from side to side.
