This fantastic plant comes in many color combinations of red, yellow, and orange flowers in small clusters. They grow as a bush and reach up to 6 feet tall and wide. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage additional blooming and prevent the growth of toxic berries. Lantanas are easy to care for and grow anywhere in well-drained soils. Enjoy this attractive plant as butterflies enjoy the sweet nectar from the beautiful blooms.
