A butterfly banquet, flat clusters of brightly colored flowers make the perfect feeding platform that butterflies seek out. Think of Dallas Red lantana as like America’s lantana, a flashy hybrid sporting bright red flowers with golden-yellow highlights. The flower party starts in late spring and endures well into fall. Very heat tolerant, this is the plant to use in those hard-to-crack spots where other plants have failed to thrive or survive. Will cover bare spots with bright green foliage and butterfly-loving flowers. Use on sun-drenched rocky hillsides, slopes, banks, borders, edgings, or to quickly obscure utility boxes, irrigation controls, posts, or curbs. Also a flowery gem in containers and hanging baskets or when cascading over retaining walls. Takes to pruning. Drought tolerant too, so water deeply but infrequently. Grows to 3’+ high and wide. Tolerates poor soils. Provide full sun. Flowers nearly all year, especially in frost-free areas. Hardy from Zone 8 to 11..
