Fast-growing evergreen shrub to 2-3’ tall x 4-5’ wide. Lantana has long-been a popular, heat-tolerant, low-maintenance shrub revered for its free-blooming nature. This attractive variety forms a rounded-mound of rich-green foliage cloaked in profuse clusters of multi-colored magenta, pink and yellow flowers that appear primarily spring to fall or nearly year-round in mild climates. These butterfly-attracting flowers are followed by clusters of small, deep-purple-colored berries that attract various species of birds. Versatile and well-suited in beds and borders, as an accent, low-hedge, container specimen, or mass planted for an eye-catching display of vibrant color. Considered drought tolerant once established, but performs best with moderate watering. Prefers a well-drained soil, and a full to partial sun exposure.
USDA Zone: 9-11
