Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

  • I have lantanas they are very big, now. They are in pots and I want to plant them in the ground. Is there a way to do this without the plants dying? A few years ago my lawncare service moved a lantana for me (at my request - after telling me that it will die if I move it) and the plant died. My husband thinks that we can plant the ones we have in the ground after we cut them back in the fall. What do you think? Thank you very much for this format we appreciate it.

    Plant Questions, Rocket Fuel

    Nicole,

    Your husband is right, late fall is the best time to transplant lantana. Before you put the plants in the hole I would suggest you put about a cup of Rocket Fuel on the bottom and set the plant directly on the Rocket Fuel to help prevent transplant shock.
