Notes

'Luscious Citrus Blend' lantana (Lantana camara 'Luscious Citrus Blend') is an annual for pollinator gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Its arching stems carry fragrant flowers that draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees from summer into autumn.

Pairs well with Mexican hat, Butterfly bush, and California poppy.
