Monrovia Spreading Lantana Tree

This variety is excellent for containers. Its spreading habit makes it a natural fit for pots, where it can serve as a striking focal point on a patio or deck.

Lantana is evergreen only in frost-free, warmer climates. If you live in a northern region, you should treat this plant as a summer annual and expect it to die back once freezing temperatures arrive.

This plant thrives in full sun. To get the best bloom production and maintain its vibrant orange-red color, ensure it receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.

Yes, this variety is considered deer-resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, the foliage of this Lantana is generally unappealing to deer, making it a safer choice for gardens prone to browsing.

It has medium water needs and is quite drought-tolerant once established. However, if you are growing it in a container, you will need to water it more frequently than if it were planted in the ground, as pots dry out much faster.
