Unit price perEstimated delivery between 31 October and 02 November.
The Lantana Dwarf Raspberry is a compact and colorful addition to any garden or container. Native to tropical regions of Central and South America, this dwarf lantana variety is well-loved for its vibrant clusters of raspberry-pink blooms. Beyond its beauty, the plant is a magnet for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making it a wonderful pollinator-friendly choice. While admired for its evergreen foliage and year-round charm, it is important to note that all parts of the lantana plant are toxic if ingested by pets or humans.
This versatile variety grows beautifully outdoors in sunny borders, flower beds, and patio containers, thriving in warm climates. Indoors, it can be grown in pots near bright windows, bringing its cheerful blooms into living spaces as long as it receives plenty of light. Its neat growth habit makes it perfect for small gardens, balconies, or as a colorful accent where larger lantana plants may not fit.
