Lantana camara - Irene

Bright, tropical, and wonderfully long-blooming, Lantana camara brings a lively blend of pink, yellow, orange, and rose-toned flowers to sunny gardens. This colorful lantana is a magnet for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators, creating months of movement and color in borders, containers, pollinator gardens, and water-wise landscapes. With its cheerful flower clusters and easygoing nature, it is a beautiful choice for gardeners who want bold color without constant fuss.

Growing into a rounded, spreading shrub, Lantana camara works beautifully as a colorful accent, low hedge, container plant, or long-blooming feature in mixed beds. Its multicolored flowers pair wonderfully with purple salvias, blue verbenas, yellow yarrow, ornamental grasses, gaillardias, agastaches, lavender, and other sun-loving perennials that create a bright, pollinator-friendly garden display. The vibrant blooms also make it especially useful where warm-season color and wildlife appeal are both important.

Plant Lantana camara in full sun with well-drained soil and low to moderate water once established. Heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and impressively floriferous, this easy-care shrub rewards gardeners with a long season of color and steady pollinator activity. Colorful, resilient, and full of sunny personality, it is a standout for warm garden spaces. Explore more season-spanning favorites in our Long-Blooming Garden Color collection.
