Lantana Assorted: Overview
Lantana Assorted refers to a mix of vibrant Lantana camara hybrids, celebrated for their clusters of multicolored flowers that often change hues as they mature. Native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa, this Verbenaceae family member thrives in warm climates as a perennial shrub but is grown as an annual in cooler zones. Its fast-growing, bushy habit reaches 2-6 feet tall and wide, with rough, aromatic foliage and blooms that attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
Known for its resilience, Lantana tolerates poor soil, drought, and salt spray, making it ideal for coastal gardens, borders, or containers. Popular varieties in assorted mixes may include ‘Confetti,’ ‘Bandana,’ and ‘Radiation,’ offering a kaleidoscope of red, orange, yellow, pink, and purple blooms.

Lantana Assorted Care Guide
Light and Water
-
Light: Full sun (6+ hours daily). Insufficient light reduces flowering.
-
Water: Water deeply but infrequently—weekly in summer, allowing soil to dry between waterings. Drought-tolerant once established.
Soil and Fertilizing
-
Soil: Well-draining, sandy/loamy soil. Tolerates poor or rocky soils.
-
Fertilizer: Lightly apply balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) in spring. Avoid overfeeding to prevent excessive foliage over blooms.
Temperature and Humidity
-
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 8-11. Tolerates heat up to 100°F (38°C); frost kills foliage.
-
Humidity: Adapts to 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 spent blooms for prolonged flowering.
-
Propagating: Take stem cuttings in summer or collect seeds from dried berries (note: seeds may not replicate hybrid traits).
-
Repotting: Refresh container soil every 2-3 years or move to a larger pot if root-bound.
Lantana Assorted: Common Problems
-
Invasive growth: Some varieties spread aggressively; check local invasive species lists before planting.
-
Powdery mildew: Improve airflow and avoid overhead watering.
-
Spider mites/whiteflies: Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
-
Toxicity: Berries and leaves are toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
Lantana Assorted: Best Locations & Uses
-
Full sun gardens: Plant in borders, slopes, or butterfly gardens.
-
Coastal landscapes: Tolerates salt spray and sandy soils.
-
Containers/pots: Compact varieties suit patios or balconies.
-
Erosion control: Dense growth stabilizes soil on slopes.
-
Avoid pet areas: Keep away from cats, dogs, and grazing animals.
