Unit price perEstimated delivery between 31 October and 02 November.
The Lantana Florida Red is a sun-loving perennial native to tropical regions of the Americas. It has become a favorite in warm climates like Florida for its resilience and bright color. This lantana plant forms evergreen broadleaf shrubs with a low, spreading habit that adds vibrant life to any garden. Its clusters of fiery red blooms make it a standout choice for both landscapes and containers.
While the red lantana plant thrives outdoors, it can also be grown indoors in containers with plenty of sunlight. Keep in mind that all parts of the lantana are toxic if ingested, so it should be kept away from pets and children. Outdoors, it shines as a drought-hardy plant that brings lasting color and attracts pollinators. Indoors, it makes a striking container specimen when placed near a bright window, adding greenery and bursts of color throughout the season.
Whether planted as a lantana red shrub in the garden or kept as a patio accent, the Florida lantana plant offers vivid beauty with minimal care.
