| 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 | This is a large genus with over 150 species native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa. L. camara is native as far north as Texas and southern Georgia but has naturalized elsewhere in the South. The genus name is the same as the South American name for the plants. Many of the contemporary varieties resulted from hybrids of this and L. montevidensis. This cultivar was discovered by Miss Huff of Athens, Georgia and introduced by Goodness Grows Nursery in Lexington, Georgia. It is considered sterile; does not produce viable seed. Lantanas are valuable butterfly nectar plants and are equally appealing to hummingbirds. |
