This a lantana. It is related to the verbena family. Depending on your zone, it can be a perennial if the winters are not too cold. The lantana grows as a shrub and attracts butterflies. It is a beautiful plant and a prolific bloomer.
Definitely Lantana (domestic version) Wild version is lavender flowered and is a noxious weed but the domestic can be grown and shaped to suit any garden. Nice as a border or low hedge (2 to 3 feet high)
Lantana. They are very hardy. will survive the hot Texas sun and come back again next year. the flowers on these plants last for weeks. not just a couple of days.
Lantana. It's a perennial in Florida but must be protected from those occasional frosty nights. Lovely plant that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Very easy to grow.
It is Lantana and comes in so many colors...yellow, red, white, purple and many shades between. Great for dry climates and comes back year after year. One of the main plants that will survive the high desert of El Paso, TX.
Lantana, and it grows everywhere down here in Texas. I love it I guess because it reminds me of my grandparents and the flowering bushes and hedges they had. Also Shrimp Plants and Plumbago are big favorites down here.
It is Lantana which at one time was considered an unwelcome weed in the citrus industry because it would pop up in the groves and choke out any other plants. In the last few years, landscapers have brought it back because it is very resilient in any type of weather and grows quickly and cost very little to grow and maintain. If you are a gardener you don't want this intruder in a flower bed because it will take over. It's your decision to like it but to me, it is a very nuisance of a weed that people are being duped on as a great border or filler plant in malls, dividers in highways and an easy very colorful variety of a plant.
It's beautiful, attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, needs little to no attention, drought tolerant and very invasive. Mine grew up under stone flower bed and cracked the mortar. Love it/hate it. Hear there's a new variety that isn't so invasive. I had less trouble controlling bamboo
There are a lot of varieties/colors of Lantana available. Be sure you like where you plant it and it has room to spread. Very deep roots and as Donna mentioned drought tolerant and very invasive. I have mine on a less sunny side of the house, which seems to keep them in check a bit. However, I do cut them back each year as well.
Lantana. They sell it at nurserys, but as a child, we pulled it up as weeds! It doesn't smell good at all, and once you plant it, it's hard to get rid of. Their very easy to grow and take little care.
A Lantana. It is an annual, attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, and is part of the mint family. Don't let it dry out. It has a different fragrance that I love, and there are many color combinations.
I agree, Lantana. I have many of them planted in my front flower beds. There are "clumping" and "trailing" varieties. I have both. They're very hardy plants and can grow quite large. I have to trim mine back periodically. They are rather fragrant and the one thing the wild rabbits in our neighborhood WON'T eat them :-)
This particular one is called "confetti" lantana. Cut it back to ground level every winter and it will be 3 feet tall and across with beautiful flowers by late June, here in coastal NC.
This is a Lantana that grows wild over. Much of Texas. It has been a project of green formal growers to create a combination of other colors. Yellow, orange & red is the growing in woodlands,
Lantana...I try to plant every year the butterflies and humming birds love it..I got a plant one year that we this color that lived several years a grew about 5 ft tall but have never managed THAT again !!!!! I have never seen kit wild in Georgia but it does grow well !!
Lantana-butterflies love it , birds eat the berries, and it is drought resistant, comes back every year, and you can divide it to have more. Great plant for weak soil too.
I have a Lantana tree that is probably 10 years old. It doesn't get bigger because I cut it back in the Fall. It blooms inside for several months and then I trim it way back. It starts new leaves almost immediately and looks so pretty all Winter. It will start blooming in the Spring and then when I take it out again, it will produce beautiful flowers all Summer. I understand you can grow a tree from a short plant by trimming the side branches and being patient. I bought mine as a mini-tree so haven't had experience. I can only have so many trees inside!!!
Our recently purchased home has two fish ponds, currently occupied only by frogs, which we enjoy. The ponds are filthy, though, filled with years of leaves, mud, and...
