Lantana Assorted Rooted Starter Plant: Overview

Lantana Assorted Rooted Starter: Overview

The Lantana Assorted Rooted Starter Plant is a young, pre-rooted specimen of vibrant Lantana camara hybrids, known for their clusters of multicolored flowers that transition in hue as they mature. Native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa, this Verbenaceae family member is acclimated for easy growth and will develop into a bushy shrub or ground cover, reaching 2-6 feet tall and wide. The starter plant features established roots, ensuring faster growth and reduced transplant shock.

Popular varieties in assorted mixes include ‘Bandana,’ ‘Confetti,’ and ‘Radiation,’ offering blooms in red, orange, yellow, pink, and purple. Lantana thrives in heat, drought, and poor soils, making it ideal for coastal gardens, slopes, or pollinator-friendly landscapes.


Lantana Assorted Rooted Starter: Benefits

  • Pollinator magnet: Attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.

  • Drought-tolerant: Thrives in hot, dry conditions once established.

  • Quick establishment: Pre-rooted for faster growth compared to seeds.

  • Long blooming: Flowers from spring to frost in warm climates.

  • Low maintenance: Minimal pruning or fertilizing required.


Lantana Assorted Rooted Starter Care Guide

Light and Water

  • Light: Full sun (6+ hours daily). Insufficient light reduces flowering.

  • Water: Water deeply after planting, then weekly until established. Once mature, water sparingly—only during prolonged droughts.

Soil and Fertilizing

  • Soil: Well-draining sandy or loamy soil. Tolerates poor, rocky, or salty soils.

  • Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) lightly in spring. Avoid overfeeding to prioritize blooms over foliage.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 8-11 as a perennial. Treat as an annual in cooler zones.

  • Humidity: Tolerates dry or humid climates but may develop powdery mildew in high humidity.

Pruning, Propagating, and Repotting

  • Pruning: Trim leggy stems in early spring to encourage bushiness. Deadhead blooms to prolong flowering.

  • Propagating: Take stem cuttings in summer (note: seeds may not replicate hybrid traits).

  • Repotting: Repot into a larger container or garden bed once roots outgrow the starter pot.


Lantana Assorted Rooted Starter: Common Problems

  • Invasive growth: Some varieties spread aggressively; check local invasive species lists.

  • Powdery mildew: Improve airflow and avoid overhead watering.

  • Spider mites/whiteflies: Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

  • Toxicity: All parts are toxic to pets and humans if ingested.


Lantana Assorted Rooted Starter: Best Locations & Uses

  • Full sun gardens: Plant in borders, butterfly gardens, or slopes.

  • Coastal landscapes: Tolerates salt spray and sandy soils.

  • Containers/pots: Compact varieties suit patios or balconies.

  • Erosion control: Dense growth stabilizes soil on hillsides.

  • Pet-free zones: Keep away from cats, dogs, and livestock.
