ARTISTREE SALUTES THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE.

It’s not too late for July 4^th plantings, but you’re running dangerously close to surrendering your barbecue tongs for a shovel. However, if you have some time and want to go all out without spending a lot of money, consider a patriotic color combination of annuals. You have several choices:

— Try red and blue salvia with a border of white vinca ( aka periwinkle).  Or, red and white vinca with blue salvia.

— How about red and white caladiums? They look great mixed together and could be bordered with blue salvia or blue daze.

— Have an existing area of blue plumbago? Add pots of red pentas or salvia and finish with white periwinkles. Or you can pair  your plumbago with other plantings that have similar drought tolerance such as red and white lantana.

Not to raise any flags, but the sooner you get started, the sooner you can start admiring your handiwork and get some good grilling time in, too. Have a safe and Happy Fourth!
