Confetti Lantana
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners seeking vibrant, butterfly-attracting ground cover.
These vibrant, color-shifting blooms are the ultimate low-effort hack for a dynamic, butterfly-friendly garden. The mounding habit fills empty beds quickly, but you must be careful where you plant them—the beauty comes with a toxicity warning that makes them a poor choice for homes with curious pets or small children.
