Planting Coleus, Pentas and Vinca

Summer flowering annuals are planted in the spring. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond shows how to plant coleus, pentas and vinca together in a small attractive flower bed. After removing the old plants, she fertilizes with a slow-release fertilizer. Then she lays out and plants the different varieties of plants. She shows how to take the plants out of the pots they are growing in and deal with any circling roots. Then she shows how to plant them in a way that does not disturb the mulch.
