Lantana - Yellow

Lantana is a versatile and vibrant flowering plant known for its clusters of small, brightly colored flowers. The flowers can come in a variety of shades, including red, orange, yellow, pink, purple, and white, often changing colors as they age, creating a multi-colored effect on each flower cluster. The plant has a bushy growth habit with rough, dark green leaves that emit a distinct aroma when crushed. Lantana is a member of the Verbenaceae family and is popular for its long blooming period, often from spring until the first frost.

 Grow Zone:

- USDA Hardiness Zones: 8-11

 Height and Width:

- Height: Typically grows 1 to 6 feet (30 cm to 1.8 meters) tall, depending on the variety and growing conditions.

- Width: Can spread 3 to 10 feet (90 cm to 3 meters) wide, depending on the variety.

 Growing Requirements:

- Light: Prefers full sun for the best flowering. Lantana can tolerate some partial shade, but flowering may be reduced.

- Water: Drought-tolerant once established, but prefers regular watering, especially in the hottest part of summer. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

- Soil: Thrives in well-draining soil and is tolerant of a wide range of soil types, including sandy, loamy, and even slightly rocky soils. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH.

- Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures and thrives in hot, sunny climates. It is frost-sensitive, so it should be protected or moved indoors if temperatures drop below 32°F (0°C).

- Fertilization: Lantana doesn’t require heavy fertilization. A light application of a balanced fertilizer in spring can help boost growth and flowering, but over-fertilizing can reduce blooms.

- Pruning: Prune lantana in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood and shape the plant. Light pruning throughout the growing season can encourage a bushier growth habit and more flowers.

 Uses:

- Ornamental: Lantana is popular in gardens and landscapes for its colorful and long-lasting flowers, making it ideal for borders, beds, and as a ground cover.

- Container Gardening: It grows well in pots and hanging baskets, where it can trail or cascade over the sides.

- Pollinator Gardens: The flowers attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making lantana an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens.

- Erosion Control: Due to its spreading habit, it can be used for erosion control on slopes and embankments.

- Hedges and Borders: Some varieties are suitable for creating low hedges or edging plants in garden beds.

 Native Range:

Lantana is native to tropical regions of the Americas, particularly Central and South America. It has naturalized in many warm regions around the world, including parts of Africa, Australia, and the southern United States.

Lantana is appreciated for its resilience, vibrant colors, and ability to attract pollinators. With proper care, it can be a lively addition to both garden landscapes and container displays.
