Lantana (Multicolor)
Lantana camara · Shrub
Lantana (Multicolor) is a fast-growing shrub, hardy in USDA zones 10-11, that matures to about 3–4 ft × 1–3 ft. It does best in full sun with medium water needs in well-drained, moist and occasionally-dry soil. Expect yellow, orange and pink blooms in summer. It attracts butterflies, hummingbirds and pollinators, stands up well to deer, drought and heat and grows happily in containers.
Restricted in FL, HI, TX.
Invasive in Florida, Hawaii and Texas, where it crosses with native lantana. Also toxic to dogs, cats and horses.
