Unit price perEstimated delivery between 31 October and 02 November.
The Dallas Red Lantana (Lantana camara' Dallas Red') belongs to the Verbenaceae family and is a perennial plant known for its long-lasting color and resilience. Native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, this red lantana plant is admired for its clusters of fiery red and orange flowers that bloom from spring through fall. These blooms not only brighten up gardens but also attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making it a true pollinator magnet.
In terms of appearance, the red Dallas Lantana grows as a bushy shrub with green foliage that beautifully highlights its vibrant flower clusters. Outdoors, it can reach a height of 3-4 feet with a spread of 4-6 feet, filling garden spaces with striking color. While it thrives best outdoors in sunny garden beds, borders, or containers, it can also be grown indoors in pots placed near sunny windows.
One important note for plant owners: like many lantanas, the Dallas Red is toxic if ingested by pets or livestock, so it should be planted in spots that are safe for curious cats and dogs.
