Lantana Florida Red (Rooted Starter Plant)
Estimated delivery between 01 November and 03 November.
Bring home a rooted starter of the Lantana Florida Red, a sun-loving perennial known for its fiery red flower clusters and easy growth. This rooted cutting has already started in the soil, making it quick to establish in your garden or container. Perfect for warm climates like Florida, this lantana variety is admired for its resilience, evergreen foliage, and nonstop color that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
With the rooted starter, you can enjoy a healthy young plant that's ready to grow strong in the right conditions. Whether you're planting it outdoors as a low, spreading shrub or keeping it in a sunny container, this starter gives you a head start on a thriving lantana. Just remember that all parts of lantana are toxic if ingested, so keep it away from pets and children.
