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:

Dig-up patches of weeds and undesirable grasses from turf areas.

Use water to grow the turf you want, not the weeds you don't want! Once you have eliminated what you don't want, add sod or over-seed to repair the bare areas.
