Lantana

Lantana belong to the verbena family. They grow much taller than the well-known annual verbena, but the small clusters of tubular flowers are similar, and they bloom as freely. The flowers may be red, orange, yellow, white, pink or lavender.

LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS: USDA hardiness zones: 7 through 11

CARE INSTRUCTIONS WATER: Throughout the entire growing season water regularly. Lantana should never dry out.

FERTILIZER: In the spring when new growth begins, fertilize lighting using a balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10. A second application may be required during mid-summer. Lantana respond well to liquid and slow release fertilizers.

FLOWERING: Flowers in many different colors.

SOIL: Lantana adapt to most soil conditions that bedding plants would grow in but like a slightly acid (6.5 or lower), well-drained soil.

DISEASE: Refer to growers instructions.
