Lantana (Texas Native)

Native Texas Lantana awakens in spring sooner than Dallas Red and New Gold, blooming from early spring through summer and into fall. Although it is related to other Lantanas, as one of the truly native Lantanas of Texas, it is a different species. It will produce little fruits that birds enjoy eating, and from seed it can pop up in the garden. 

After fall frost, trim it back to the root in December-January and new fresh growth will return in spring. During the growing season, let it grow freely to reach 4-5 feet tall, or trim it back for a more compact shape. Learn more at Native Plant Society and Native Gardener.
