Have a look at our grape tomato. It's doing very well with it's best friend the Anaheim pepper next to it. Can you believe this great tasting grape tomato has been kept alive and producing tomatoes after this EXTREME Arizona summer!

Yellow lantana loving the Arizona summer sun and heat
Take a look at how well the yellow lantana does in this hot summer sun Arizona has. The yellow lantana seem to burst with these great looking yellow flowers. They are also the stronger of the lantana's, in my opinion, and tolerate the cold much better then the other colors. I beleive the purple lantana is the weakest and will get the most damage fromthe colder winter weather.
