Lantana camara (incl. hybrids)
Overview
Lantana is an evergreen plant species with both ornamental and medicinal uses. It features shrub-like branches that can reach up to 1m in height. It has dark green, aromatic leaves, and produces clusters of bright flowers throughout the year. The flowers are most commonly yellow, orange, pink, and white, but can be purple or bicoloured in some varieties. Lantana is incredibly tough and forgiving, making it ideal for warm climates or a neglected part of the garden. It is also easy to propagate. Lantana has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, and is a favorite in pollinator gardens.
