Notes
'Radiation' lantana (Lantana camara 'Radiation') 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. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers, which open in summer and again in autumn. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It is drought tolerant and salt tolerant, so it handles dry spells well.
Pairs well with Blue sage, Lanceleaf coreopsis, and Indian grass.
