Lantana - 'New Gold'

Lantana 'New Gold' is a popular cultivar known for its profuse, bright golden-yellow flowers. This low-growing, spreading plant has a compact and dense growth habit, making it ideal for ground cover, borders, and containers. The flowers bloom in clusters and attract a variety of pollinators, including butterflies and bees. The foliage consists of rough, dark green leaves with a slight aroma when crushed. 'New Gold' is a sterile variety, meaning it doesn’t produce seeds, which allows it to focus energy on continuous flowering.

 Grow Zone:

- USDA Hardiness Zones: 8-11

 Height and Width:

- Height: Typically grows 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) tall.

- Width: Spreads 2 to 4 feet (60 to 120 cm) wide.

 Growing Requirements:

- Light: Prefers full sun for optimal flowering. It can tolerate partial shade, but flowering will be less prolific.

- Water: Drought-tolerant once established, but prefers regular watering during the growing season, especially in hot weather. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

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

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

- Fertilization: Lantana 'New Gold' requires minimal fertilization. A light application of a balanced fertilizer in spring can support growth, but over-fertilizing may reduce flowering.

- Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood and shape the plant. Light pruning during the growing season can encourage a bushier form and more blooms.

 Uses:

- Ground Cover: Its low, spreading habit makes it ideal for use as a ground cover in sunny areas.

- Ornamental: 'New Gold' is perfect for borders, garden beds, and as an accent plant in landscapes due to its bright, eye-catching flowers.

- Container Gardening: Grows well in pots and hanging baskets, where it can cascade over the sides.

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

- Erosion Control: Its spreading nature makes it suitable for erosion control on slopes and embankments.

 Native Range:

Lantana is native to tropical regions of Central and South America. However, 'New Gold' is a cultivated variety developed for its compact size, sterile nature, and vibrant flower color.

Lantana 'New Gold' is appreciated for its resilience, continuous blooms, and ability to attract pollinators. It’s an excellent choice for brightening up gardens, landscapes, and containers with its golden hues.
