Deborah, it's Lantana and likes hot sunny areas. Comes in several ccolors. Mostly golds and yellows and white.

Thank you very much. My sister in Florida found it growing and had no idea.

Just love these, wish they were perennials but even if there not, still love the multi colors of them.

Yes, it is definitely lantana. While they are perennials in Florida, Kate, I've often seen them used in planters and hanging baskets up north so you could at least enjoy the flowers from now through your first frost.

Maybe you can bring it in for the winter - and enjoy it all winter long.

I have lantana in my yard and it looks nothing like this
Are there different varieites? My Lantana has single blossoms, not clusters like this plant

Perhaps you should post a photo of what you have, Debi. Every lantana I've seen has clusters of blooms.

I found this on Wikipedia. This is also lantana, but the leaves look quite different from the above picture

Debi M, what you also found is LANTANA. The leaves are the same. They just look a little different due to the pictures nothing else.

Fox Hollow Cottage, thank you for that website. They sure are BEAUTIFUL little flowers. I just love LANTANAS. I have the yellow one for about 10 years now.

This is multi-colored Lantana...A native, here in Texas. Grows wild in the ranch country. There is also a yellow variety that is very drought resistant and is lovely in beds.

Christy B, Lantana's flowers are only about an inch in diameter where as Hydrangeas are huge flowers.

It's a Lantana, I grow them here in summer for the bees and the humming birds.
