Lantana camara 'Dallas Red' |
| Common Name: |
Bigleaf Lantana |
Mounding, multi-colored flat florets, Dallas Red variety are like explosive clusters accompanying a dying star. Beautiful and free. Symbolizing the transformation of energy from one thing to another, their colors transition from red and orange to yellow. These perennials like to be planted in full sun and are drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, attract pollinators, and can tolerate multiple kinds of soil, even clay.
If you are looking for non-stop color, the vigorous Lantana is a great option. Known for its carefree nature and the myriad of single and multi-colored flower colors, you will have endless choices for your garden landscape. Whether in bush or trailing form, the dense flower clusters consist of numerous small tubular flowers borne on oval, toothed, dark green leaves. Deer resistant. Excellent plant for attracting pollinators. Plant with care around children and pets, as the plant and berries are toxic and the leaves can cause skin irritation in some. While invasive in other areas, lantana can be grown as an evergreen perennial in our climate zone.
