The Dark Purple Lantana (Lantana camara) is a compact, colorful shrub from the Verbenaceae family, offered here as a rooted starter plug ready for planting. Native to the warm tropical regions of Central and South America, this hardy plant is loved for its brilliant clusters of deep purple blooms that appear from spring until the first frost. Growing with a neat, mounding habit, it typically reaches 1-2 feet tall and spreads 2-4 feet wide when mature, making it perfect for sunny borders, edging, or container displays.
This rooted starter plant gives you a strong beginning, allowing it to establish quickly in your garden or container. Outdoors, it thrives in hot, sunny conditions and continues to bloom generously through the season. Indoors, it can be grown in containers if placed near a bright south-facing window or in a sunroom. Like all lantanas, it is a true pollinator favorite, attracting butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds wherever it grows. While beautiful and resilient, keep in mind that its berries and foliage are toxic if ingested, so handle with care around pets and children.
