Lantana from the Southern Living Plant Collection provides bold blossom color nearly all growing-season long! This perennial produces gorgeous clusters of white blooms with creamy yellow centers. Moreover, their bloom season begins up to three weeks earlier than other lantanas! These blossoms continuously rebloom until the first frost of the year. The leaves are brilliant green with light hairiness to them. Each leaf is slightly serrated and deeply lobed, with a point on the end. Also, this foliage is deciduous, which means that it will lose its leaves in winter. This Lantana has a reliably dense and compact growth habit, and won’t get leggy like most lantanas.
