Cordyline, Gazanias and Sedona Coleus--a $1 Improvement

I bought this pot of gazanias a few days ago for just under $5.

Although bright, it's a big yawner--nothing else of interest in this pot. So I took it apart and got five separate plants. I  used them to give some other containers a shot of shockingly gorgeous orange  (remember I am an orange lover).

I had a bright orange Gerbera planted in front of the Cordyline container, but the leaves got moldy and it never bloomed so I yanked it out. What a sad plant!

I replaced it with one gazania - a $1.00 change.

I did not even think about how the purple center ring would look great with the Sedona coleus.  It is amazing  how changing out one little plant really spiced up this combo.

You can see the kale has bolted in this container (thanks again to Sissy for giving me the proper terminology. She is a wealth of plant information!). 

I have since cut down the yellow kale flowers as I did not find them attractive with this planting.
