| Companion Plants | Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia); Fountain Grass (Pennisetum); Heliotrope (Heliotrope); Indian Hawthorn (Raphiolepis); Pittosporum (Pittosporum) |
| Care | 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. |

| 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. |
