Ireland Recipe with Prince Tut Thriller

Luscious® Basket Tangeglow® Lantana
Goldilocks Rocks® Bidens
Superbells® Over Easy Calibrachoa
Optional Thriller: Graceful Grasses® Queen Tut Cyperus

Combining three sun-loving, heat-tolerant annuals, this recipe doesn’t need much to thrive all season, including no need to remove any spent flowers to stay in bloom. It grows beautifully in upright patio pots and hanging baskets.

Thriller: You can also plant this recipe up with the optional thriller plant Queen Tut Cyperus. This sturdy, heat-tolerant dwarf Egyptian papyrus will add drama and a vertical element to the planting!
