You've struck pollinator gold. Beautiful violet colored flowers distinguish this hybrid lantana. A butterfly banquet, flat clusters of showy, brightly colored blooms make the perfect feeding platform that butterflies seek out. A heat lover, trailing purple lantana is the plant to use for those hard-to-crack places where other plants have failed to thrive or survive. Will cover your bare hot spots with bright green foliage and butterfly-loving flowers, such as a mass planting on an embankment. 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 once established. Water deeply, but infrequently. Tolerates poor soils. Grow in full sun. Flowers nearly all year, especially in frost-free areas.
