I think the changes to the plantings in TV relates to cost. It is obviously more cost effective to find a plant that lasts through our heat without needing to be deadheaded regularly. Personally I like the many varieties of coleus that are planted this year. I actually have a beautiful coleus plant by my front door, started out as a baby and now it is huge and very impressive. There is a range of different coleus plants outside the front entrance of the Belvedere Library and I am tempted to help myself to a cutting, but I don't think so ..............
