Description
This one is in our front yard in Yuma, Arizona. We have many people stopping by and admiring the flowers on the Lantana and so do the butterflies.
Lantana plants are woody, tropical shrubs with large, rough leaves topped with numerous heads of vividly colored flowers that are highly attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. They are free-flowering, often blooming from spring right through to the first frost.
Lantana, pronounced lan-TAH-nuh, are treated as tender perennial plants in the South and as annuals or houseplants in northern climes, though care should be taken if you have pets that enjoy munching on your plants, as this one can make them ill. It enjoys well-drained soil and lots of sun. Once established, they are quite drought and salt tolerant, making them very popular in the desert southwest and along the southern coasts.
