Lantana Dallas Red (Rooted Starter Plant)
Estimated delivery between 31 October and 02 November.
The Lantana Dallas Red (Lantana camara 'Dallas Red') is a hardy perennial from the Verbenaceae family, prized for its fiery red and orange blooms and long-lasting performance. Native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, this lantana is a pollinator favorite, drawing in butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds from spring until frost. As a rooted starter plant, you will receive a young, healthy plug with a strong root system, carefully grown and ready to be transplanted into your garden bed, border, or container. Once planted and given the right care, your Dallas Red Lantana will quickly establish and grow into a bushy shrub that fills spaces with vibrant color.
Like most lantanas, Dallas Red is toxic if ingested by pets or livestock. Always plant in areas that are safe from curious cats, dogs, or grazing animals.
