The three plants used in this container include Salvia argentea, Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost', and Ipomoea 'Sweet Caroline' Light green.  The Salvia argentea is a large, wooly, silvery foliage plant that forms low-growing rosettes, it adds texture and contrast to this container, it is drought tolerant and does not like wet soil.  The Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost' is a plant with a mounding habit, blooms all season, reaches a height of 12-18", needs regular fertilization, will take dry to normal soil conditions, full sun to part shade, it is heat and drought tolerant and deer resistant, and is easy care.  The Ipomoea has beautiful foliage, an easy care plant with bright color, water as needed to keep soil evenly moist, especially in hot weather.  This container is in full sun.
