Lantana camera 'Carnival'
Lantana
Description
This very heat tolerant Lantana reaches 3' tall and 7.5' wide. Foliage is green with serrated edges. In warm areas, this plant flowers continuously, with small yellow, pink and lavender colors reminding one of nosegays. Frost may kill the plant but in mild winter areas, this plant keeps looking great! Prune in spring if necessary. Lantana is considered invasive in FL and HI. It prefers full sun and moderate to minimal water, depending on heat. Sap causes dermatitis for some people.

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.
Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
