Notes

'Luscious Royale Cosmo' lantana (Lantana camara 'Luscious Royale Cosmo') 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. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the fragrant blooms.

Pairs well with Blood flower, Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflower, and Cornel Bronze dahlia.
