| Description | A compact shrub with a dense mound of green foliage that produces a non-stop show of red hot flower clusters throughout the heat of summer. The sterile blooms allow it to focus its energy on prolific blooming, making it a superb choice for containers, mass plantings, and borders. Evergreen in warm, frost-free climates; treat as a summer annual elsewhere. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Summer; longer in frost-free regions. |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Attracts Butterflies, Attracts Hummingbirds, Easy Care, Waterwise, Attracts Pollinators, Benefits Birds |
| Problems/Solutions | Coastal Exposure, Deer Resistant, Erosion Control, Tolerates Urban Pollution |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Flower Attributes | Long Bloom Season, Repeat Flowering, Showy Flowers |
| Landscape Use | Border, Container, Poolside, Ground Cover, Hillside |
| Design Ideas | This vivid Lantana is an unparalleled source of quick foliage and flowers in warmer climates. Its coloring is just right for adding brilliance to the tropical-inspired landscape. These plants grow very fast to fill in a young landscape, or use as a single-season makeover plant. Very resilient in extreme heat, particularly reflected heat off driveways or street paving. A natural for filling sunny banks and slopes. Plant in flower and shrub beds, raised planters, along fence lines and foundations, and in parkways. Put them in pots for powerful color on a deck or patio with brightly blooming annual flowers. |
| Flower Color | Red |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Companion Plants | Hibiscus (Hibiscus); Butterfly Bush (Buddleja); Maiden Grass (Miscanthus); Cordyline (Cordyline); Heliotrope (Heliotrope) |
| Care Instructions | Thrives in average, well-drained soils. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system. Once established in the landscape, reduce frequency; continue to water container plants regularly. Fertilize in spring. Remove spent blooms periodically and prune annually to shape. |
| History | An extremely dense and compact shrub with a continuous display of festive multi-colored flowers which open chiffon yellow and transition to fuchsia pink. Symmetrical form requires no pruning. Flowers year-round in warmer climates, making it a superb choice for containers, mass plantings and borders. Evergreen in frost-free regions. |
| Lore | Lantanas are valuable butterfly nectar plants and are equally appealing to hummingbirds. |
