Moderate to fast-growing evergreen shrub to 2-3’ tall x 6-8’ wide. Lantana is a popular heat-tolerant, low-maintenance perennial shrub revered for its free-blooming nature. This spreading variety forms a dense mound of rich green foliage cloaked in a profusion of vivid, multi-toned, red-orange flower clusters that appear primarily spring to fall or nearly year-round in mild climates. A favorite for butterflies. Well-suited in beds or borders, as a low-growing hedge, container specimen, or as a colorful mass planted groundcover. Also great for controlling soil erosion on slopes and hillsides. Considered drought tolerant once established but looks best with moderate watering. Prefers a well-drained soil and a full to partial sun exposure. Considered drought tolerant once established but looks best with moderate watering.
