Lantana, Confetti

Lantana camara, commonly called lantana or shrub verbena, is native to Central and South America. It is an upright frost-tender shrub that grows 3-6’ tall. It has naturalized in parts of the southern United States including southern Florida, the Gulf Coast and southern California. When grown in cooler areas, plants placed out in spring after last frost date may grow to as much as 3-4’ tall by the end of the summer. Tiny 5-lobed flowers in dense hemispherical clusters (to 2” diameter) bloom summer to fall. Lantana ‘Confetti’ flower colors include yellow, pink, and ruby, often mixed in the same cluster. Flowers are attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators.
