Colorita plants are both strikingly beautiful and low maintenance. And perhaps best of all, the plants produce a season-long profusion of bright, azalea-like blooms. They are at home in your flower beds. And they are excellent in a container on your deck. This beautiful perennial is low maintenance, too. A little more frequent fertilizer helps this flower garden plant to be its showy best.
Colorita plants are grown from tuberous rhizomes or seeds. Most people propagated them by separating the rhizomes. Give any extras to your gardening buddies. In late fall, overwinter them in a container in your garage.

This time of year, the favorite place for gardeners to be is out in their gardens lovingly tending to their plants. The second most popular place to be, is in garden stores selecting the plants we want to grow. High on the list for many of us are hanging baskets. And the garden stores know what you want. As a result, they offer a huge array of colorful flowers, and hanging vines for you to take home. Hanging baskets are a form of vertical gardening, that opens, especially for space-constrained areas.
Hanging baskets look stunning placed around your home under the eaves or hanging off a balcony or deck. While they look great, they need a fair amount of attention. Plan on watering them often, maybe daily in hot weather. And, they need frequent applications of fertilizer to keep them vibrant and blooming.
