| Botanical Pronunciation | lan-TAY-na ca-MA-ra |
|---|---|
| Lore | Lantana naturalizes easily because the berries are relished by birds and spread over long distances where new plants readily germinate under arid conditions and thrive even while seedlings in brutal heat. This is also a vital nectar source for butterflies. Lantana and its fruit should be considered toxic to pets and children. |
| Average Size at Maturity | Moderate growing; reaches 12 in. tall, spreading to 15 in. wide. |
| Bloom Time | Spring through summer; nearly year-round in frost-free regions. |
| Design Ideas | This is a uniquely small Lantana that offers multicolored flowers for small gardens. Use as accent color in planters, or line it up for a dense informal edging. Because it is heat resistant, it can spice up driveways and sidewalks for an instant front yard face-lift. Great size for containers and for use in urban courtyards. |
