Fast-growing evergreen shrub to 2-3’ tall x 3-4’ wide. This unique mounding form of Lantana features heat-tolerant, dark-green foliage highlighted with abundant clusters showy, golden-colored flowers that appear throughout summer attracting butterflies, bees and hummingbirds. Adding further year-round appeal to this attractive variety are the dark-colored, metallic-looking berries that mature in fall providing food for various species of birds. This low-maintenance variety prefers a full sun exposure, a well-drained soil, and once fully established, can tolerate periods of drought. Great as an accent, border or mass planting, and makes a great container specimen.
