Lantana is a tropical flowering plant known for its multi-colored blooms, heat tolerance, and spreading growth habit.
Lantana camara features clusters of small, tubular flowers that often display multiple colors within the same bloom head, shifting tones as they mature in shades of yellow, orange, pink, red, and purple. The foliage is textured and medium green, providing a slightly coarse backdrop that contrasts with the bright flowers. It grows as a low, spreading to mounding plant, with some varieties developing a more trailing habit, making it well-suited for containers, hanging baskets, borders, and landscape plantings. In warm climates, it flowers continuously throughout the growing season, delivering consistent color in high-light, high-heat environments. Its durability and extended bloom period make it a staple in sunny outdoor plant programs. This plant is widely used in tropical and subtropical landscapes for its resilience, long bloom season, and ability to perform reliably in hot, sunny conditions.
Why it works
· Multi-colored blooms provide dynamic, changing color
· Heat and sun tolerant for reliable outdoor performance
· Spreading to trailing habit ideal for containers and landscapes
Key Specs
Light: Bright Light to Full Sun
Water: Low to Moderate; prefers well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established
Temperature: USDA Hardiness Zones: 9–11
Habit: Spreading to mounding (some trailing)
Size Class: Medium
Growth Rate: Fast
