Lantana (4.5")

Lantana 

Bring a cheerful burst of color and old-fashioned charm to your garden with our beloved Lantana. With clusters of bright, sun-kissed blooms and a spirit as lively as a Southern summer day, Lantana has been a favorite in family gardens for generations.

A Plant with a Proud Heritage:
Originally native to tropical regions, Lantana quickly found a home across the South, where its easygoing nature and long-lasting blooms fit right in with warm days, sweet tea, and front porch living. For centuries, gardeners have loved Lantana for its resilience, beauty, and ability to attract butterflies and hummingbirds — turning any yard into a living, breathing celebration of life.

The Meaning Behind Lantana:
Lantana flowers symbolize rigor, endurance, and warmth — a fitting tribute to the hardworking hands that tend gardens and the gatherings of family and friends they help bring together.

Growing Conditions:

• Sun: Loves full, glorious sunshine

• Soil: Well-draining soil; drought-tolerant once established

• Water: Moderate water needs; let the soil dry a bit between waterings

• Zones: Thrives in USDA zones 9–11; often grown as an annual in cooler areas

Size and Growth:
Depending on variety and conditions, Lantana can grow 18–36 inches tall and 2–4 feet wide, forming a sprawling carpet of color perfect for borders, containers, or open garden beds.

Caring for Your Lantana:

• Water deeply but infrequently once established

• Deadhead spent blooms to keep the color coming

• Lightly trim if plants become leggy

• Tolerant of heat, humidity, and even a bit of neglect — true to its Southern spirit

Perfect Plant Companions:
Pair your Lantana with Red Salvia, Angelonia, Verbena, or Dusty Miller to create a vibrant, welcoming garden full of color and life.

The Lantana brings sunshine wherever it grows — a beautiful reminder of the simple joys of family, friends, and summers spent outdoors.
