Notes

'Monike' lantana (Lantana camara 'Monike') is a shrub for pollinator gardens, containers, cottage gardens, and low maintenance beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). 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. It grows fast and has an arching habit. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Creeping thyme, Amsonia, and California poppy.
