Lantana (Annual Variety)

Luscious Lantana

Lantana flowers have long since been admired for their extended bloom time. The mounding growth habit and colorful blooms makes this a fantastic choice for landscape, baskets and containers! The Lantana is desired most for their bright, ever-blooming colors, heat tolerance, low maintenance and mounding growth habit for landscape, beds, baskets and containers. This is a great annual for Spring, Summer, and Fall. Attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Deer and rabbit resistant

Most lantana varieties are considered an annual in Oklahoma, meaning that they do not survive the winter. A few varieties are considered short-lived perennials. They usually live for 2-3 years when planted in the ground but will not survive the winter in containers. Annual lantanas are usually more compact growing, flower earlier and heavier than perennial varieties.

Lantana prefers full sun and grows best in average, well-drained soil with consistent watering. Lantanas respond well to regular fertilizer applications. Apply Osmocote Plant Food at planting and repeat every 4 months to promote growth. TLC Garden Max fertilizer applied every 14 days increases flower production.

TLC Garden Centers selected the following Lantana varieties for their performance, color, and range of mature sizes. They are in order of their average mature size.
