Native to tropical regions, this hardy Lantana variety thrives in sunny landscapes and is remarkably drought-tolerant. Its fragrant foliage and abundant clusters of bicolor pink and yellow flowers create a stunning visual display from late spring to frost. This versatile plant is an excellent choice for adding continuous bloom and ecological value to your outdoor space.

This deer-resistant and drought-resistant perennial is not only beautiful but also beneficial. It’s a magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds, making it an essential addition to any wildlife garden or xeriscape. Whether planted as a specimen, in groupings, or massed on slopes for erosion control, the Hardy Lantana adds charm and ecological value to your outdoor space. It features a smaller growth habit and abundant clusters of bicolor pink and yellow flowers from late spring to frost, ensuring a long season of interest.

Growing your Lantana plant is straightforward. For solid hedges, space plants 3-4 feet apart; allow 5-6 feet for individual plants to reach their full potential. Pinch once upon transplanting to encourage bushier growth and more prolific flowering. Water at the base, allowing the soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. During winter months, consider adding a heat pack to your order, especially if temperatures fall below 40 degrees, to ensure your plant arrives in good condition. We recommend signing up for USPS text updates to prevent your package from sitting outside for extended periods.
