Our experts say
The Lantana camara is a very hardy and rewarding shrub, known for its continuous flowering and its ability to bring colour for months. It produces rounded flower clusters made up of small flowers that often change shade over time, creating vivid combinations in yellows, oranges, reds, pinks or whites depending on the variety. Its foliage is dense and lightly aromatic, and it grows quickly in warm weather, making it an excellent choice for sunny gardens, pots and low-maintenance borders.
It is especially useful in areas exposed to heat and sun, where many plants reduce their flowering. Once established, it tolerates drought well, and with light pruning it can be kept compact and highly floriferous. In addition, its flowers attract pollinators, bringing movement and life to the garden.
