Florida Foliage Lantana montevidensis

Lantana montevidensis is a true sun-lover. It performs best in full sun, meaning at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. It is specifically bred to handle high heat without wilting.

It has a vigorous, trailing growth habit that makes it excellent for ground cover or cascading over the edges of containers. While it fills space quickly, it is generally manageable and can be trimmed back if it starts to outgrow its designated area.

Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant and requires minimal supplemental watering. During the first few weeks after planting, you will need to water regularly to help it settle in, but after that, it can handle dry spells quite well.

Yes, you can expect a consistent display of purple flowers from spring through autumn. It is a reliable bloomer that maintains its color even during the hottest months of the year.

It is an excellent choice for hanging baskets. Its trailing nature allows it to spill gracefully over the sides of containers, creating a lush, flowering display.
