Lantana
General Description
The Landmark Series of lantana is a group of everblooming, larger-growing evergreen tropical shrub grown as tender perennials or bedding annuals. Native to the tropical Americas, lantana produces numerous rounded clusters of small, tubular flowers. Landmark Gold has blossoms in a classic, or traditional bright golden yellow.
Lantana prefer a full sun location and moist, well drained, average soil. These plants are highly attractive to butterflies and look best when planted in masses. They offer brilliant color to beds and containers all season long and may be trained into tree-like standards in tropical zones.
Lantana camara has been called one of the world’s worst weeds. It is highly invasive in some locations. There are sterile cultivars which may be used in the landscape. Lantana is a weed only in subtropical or tropical regions.
