Lantana camara 'Heartland™ Neon' |
Common Name: |
Bigleaf Lantana |
Vibrancy unbound, Heartland Neon is a variety for those who understand that life is a passionate, inclusion of unfolding events! This perennial with its yellow, orange, red, magenta, purple flat florets on one plant symbolizes that although life is multiplistic, it is but one energy with many outlets. Blooming Spring-Fall, plant in full sun/part sun/part shade. Tolerates many soils (clay also), deer-resistant, drought-tolerant, attracts pollinators while detracting deer.
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.
