Lantana Camara Purple Flower Plant with Pot

Description

Lantana plants are evergreen of the broadleaf variety. Although they may act a little like vines, they are classified by botanists as shrubs. But because of the vine-like appearance of their branches, they are often grown in hanging pots, in which their branches are allowed to spill over the sides. Lantana plants are known for their rounded clusters of small, brightly colored flowers. The flowers may be yellow, orange, white, red, or purple, and often colors are mixed within the same cluster, creating a bicolored effect. Most people dislike the smell of the flowers that bloom from this plant. But the aroma of their foliage qualifies them as fragrant plants. The leaves have a citrus scent.

Lantana Plant’s Care Instructions:

Soil: Lantana is tolerant of most soil types, but prefers rich, well-draining soil that is slightly acidic. Mulch with pine needles to increase soil acidity

Water: Water regularly until plants are established. Mature specimens prefer less water and are quite drought tolerant. Irrigate once or twice weekly in dry climates or extreme heat, especially if grown in containers..

Light: Lantana plants like full sun or partial sun. The plant should receive at least 6 hours (or more) of direct sunlight every day. It can tolerate some afternoon shade but will flower less if planted in a shady spot.

Fertilizer: Lantana plants do not require fertilizer. They are very low-maintenance, and too much fertilizer can decrease the abundance of flowers. If desired, you can feed them with a balanced, gentle 20-20-20 fertilizer every month.
