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.

Move turf away form sidewalks and pavement.
Instead plant shrubs or groundcovers next to the pavement, and water with low-flow drip or bubbler system to eliminate runoff from turf sprinklers
