When adding lantana to your landscape, choose native!

Texas lantana, aka Lantana horrida, is a beneficial species with flower clusters that change from yellow to orange to red as they age. A great foundational plant for a Texas pollinator garden, this low-spreading shrub thrives in the full summer sun, requiring very little water after the first year. Its spring-to-fall blooms are very attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.

Texas lantana stands out among the many undesirable, non-native lantanas in the marketplace. Please don’t buy the pink and yellow “tropical” lantana (Lantana camara), which is classified as an invasive species in Texas. Lantana camara can easily invade disturbed areas and suppress the growth of native plants.
