How to grow and care for lantana – and enjoy a rainbow of blooms all summer long

Lantana with pink blooms and butterfly.

Lantanas are vibrant and versatile flowering plants that have become popular with gardeners for their reliable and fuss-free blooms. If you are looking for low-maintenance backyard ideas that will fill your borders and containers with pops of color, look no further than lantanas.

Native to the American tropics, these plants now feature in gardens worldwide. They thrive in warm climates and the more sunlight they enjoy, the more prolific they will bloom. For this reason, many grow this fast-growing plant as an annual, in the knowledge that they will not survive the winter in cooler zones.
