About LantanaFor such a tough little thing, this plant sure is gorgeous! Lantana thrives in heat, humidity, and drought. This plant’s bunched flowers come in various bright combinations of yellow, orange, pink, red, and white and her colors change with age, making her a dynamic addition to your garden. Lantana is a toxic and invasive perennial in many parts of the world, but our chill Chicago winters ensure that she’s a well-behaved annual visitor around here. |
