If you seek a long-flowering perennial plant that will fill your borders and containers with rainbow-like blooms from spring through to fall, lantana is the plant to grow. Celebrated for its vibrant, almost kaleidoscopic flowers, this plant is a magnet not just for us gardeners, but for pollinators too, with native butterflies, bees and hummingbirds drawn to its sweet nectar.
Native to the tropical regions of the Americas, lantana plants thrive in sunny and warm areas. Learning how to grow lantana is relatively straightforward and, when planted in a bright and protected border or sheltered and sunny pot display, this perennial can bloom for much of the year.
