Some plants are no longer cultivated as individual items, but rather are enjoyed for their collective effect in a planting scheme. Scores of plants of the same species are put close together to form a specific color zone. Salvia splendens is a clear favorite in this kind of gardening, and the plants used for it tend to be about 8-12 in high.
The compact, mat-forming habit of Coleostephus makes it highly suitable as an annual for rockeries, flower-beds, edges of paths and patios, and for cultivation in containers. A species from southern Europe and North Africa, it likes warmth and sunlight, and its somewhat succulent, bluish-green foliage tolerates such conditions very well.

Euryops is rarely absent from the May flower markets. A green-leafed cultivar, Euryops ‘Sonnenschein,’ also known as Euryops ‘Sunshine,’ is usually available. The grey-leafed Euryops pectinatus, unfortunately, is not on sale quite so often. Its leaves are covered in white, feltlike hairs, which will remain particularly beautiful if the plant is cultivated in full sunlight. It will, however, need a lot of water in such a position. The risk of drying up is particularly great if the plant is cultivated in a pot. Both plants are sometimes labelled incorrectly as marguerites. Euryops plants are propagated by cuttings. Specialist firms take cuttings in winter so that they can supply flowering plants in May. In winter, you can leave the plants outdoors, where they will freeze, or overwinter them indoors at a minimum temperature of 41 °F. You can also take cuttings yourself and overwinter them at a minimum temperature of 41 °F.
LOOSESTRIFE
One of the most rewarding patio plants has . been available from specialists ever since 1992, but it still has not managed to achieve a large-scale breakthrough. Perhaps it is the yellow flowers that prevent it from becoming popular, or perhaps the intervals following the various periods of flowering. Still, this particular loosestrife should attract far more interest.
