About this Plant

Texas Lantana delivers a nearly nonstop show of warm-season color in hot, sunny gardens. Rounded flower clusters open yellow, then shift through orange, coral, and red, often displaying multiple colors at once. The changing blooms stand out beautifully against coarse, deep green foliage, giving this native shrub a lively presence in borders, habitat gardens, and water-wise landscapes.

Built for intense sun and prolonged heat, Texas Lantana thrives in lean, well-drained soil and needs little supplemental water once established. Its nectar-rich flowers attract butterflies, including swallowtails and skippers, along with hummingbirds, native bees, and other pollinators. Dark fruits may follow the flowers and provide food for birds, though they should not be treated as edible for people or pets.

Why Choose Texas Lantana?

Long-lasting yellow, orange, coral, and red flower clusters
Excellent nectar source for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds
Handles heat, drought, and exposed sunny sites
Birds may feed on the dark fruits later in the season
Great as a colorful specimen, hedge, slope planting, or pollinator-garden anchor

Plant Texas Lantana in full sun with well-drained soil, and avoid overwatering once established. Prune lightly to shape as needed, or cut back frost-damaged stems in spring to encourage fresh growth from the base.

Maintenance Tips

Plant Texas Lantana in full sun and well-drained soil.
Avoid frequent irrigation and rich fertilizer that can encourage excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.
Prune frost-damaged or woody stems in late winter or early spring, wearing gloves when handling the coarse foliage.
Cut plants back more firmly when a denser or more compact shape is desired.
